**Certain complex effects at certain resolutions using certain codecs may not playback in real time, but they still benefit from hardware acceleration. Matrox Axio LE and the Matrox RT.X2 cards rely on the power of your system CPU and GPU to process realtime Matrox Flex effects. Please visit our website for system configuration guidelines.

***Requires GPU with 512 MB.
