Is ATI spanking the industry, or is it being spanked?

by nad_masters nad_masters is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Computer Hardware, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 100, Aug 06 '01
Pros: TV-Tuner, TIVO functionality
Cons: "Only" 32 MB of SDR RAM, expensive, slow(er)
ATI used to be taking all the spankin' when 3Dfx was pimpin' the industry with their VooDoo-based chipset. They made the wrong turn by dropping 32-bit color support and only allowing STB to make their supposedly "next big thing" (the VooDoo 3) and and...

A CARD FOR ALL REASONS!

by ryansridge Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Apr 03 '01
Pros: Great DVD playback, good 2D/3D performance, good analog video capture
Cons: No digital video capture and uses 32MB of slower 166MHz DDR RAM
For a couple of years I’d been looking for a way to input analog video from a camcorder onto my PC’s hard drive in MPEG-2 format. Dazzle had come out with a new product, the Digital Video Creator II, but the fine print said that some Athlon based PC’s...

ATI All In "One"der? Definitely!

by civic2000 , Apr 26 '01
Pros: Nice features such as DVD and TV. Excellent 2D and 3D graphics.
Cons: Only 32 MB Ram. Incompatibilities with some VIA chipsets.
Having already purchase an ATI Radeon 64 MB VIVO, I was already treated to some visual goodness. I mainly use the Radeon 64 VIVO in my main machine where I play games. Since I was in the process in building a machines specifically for digital video...

All I wonder is how to make this card work...

by albrtlee , Jul 03 '01
Pros: A whole lot of functionality on one card.
Cons: Compatibility issues galore.
I have no doubt that the ATI All-In-Wonder Radeon provides great value to its users. It has a built in TV tuner, accepts composite and s-video inputs, boasts hardware accelerated DVD playback, provides MPEG-2 video capture, and comes with software that...

Like A Nice Sharp Swiss Army Knife

by KarsinTheHutt Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Sep 12 '00
Pros: Great gaming as well as TV, DVD, and DVI support
Cons: ATI's spotty driver history, GeForce2 Ultra faster in games
ATI has long been known for video cards that delivered numerous features but only mediocre performance. In July 2000, this all changed when ATI released the Radeon chipset, a graphics crunching monster that could challenge nVidia's GeForce2 GTS. With the...

Will You Wonder Why You Bought The All In Wonder?

by Syntax , Oct 05 '01
Pros: Works With Windows 2000, Captures Mpeg2, DDR Ram onboard.
Cons: Will Probably not support Windows XP.
I also wrote a review on the All In Wonder 128 I returned twice, Now spending 4 times as much as planned and 3 video cards later I have purchased the All In Wonder Radeon Card. Lets see how this turns out.

AV and 3D Tool Box!

by markhaml , Dec 12 '00
Pros: Awesome quality and speed! Best TV display!
Cons: None
Something "snapped" at ATI last year...
My guess, is that ATI, tired of having their $85 4X AGP (40 FPS Quake III) boards get trounced by 3DFX and Nvidia, decided to get busy and deal out a nice little "reality check" to Nvidia. They haven't...

This card really sucks!!!

by liquidman , Mar 24 '01
Pros: There are no Pros!
Cons: constantly freezes, software doesn't work, and 3d acceleration doesn't work.
In my opinion this card sucks. Before i bought this card i have had no problems with ATI video cards. I bought this card for $280. Believe me its not worth it. Before I bought this video card i had the ATI all-in-wonder 8mb video card. I had no...

Watchin DVDs on TV. Cool!

by Emerald232 , Mar 01 '02
Pros: DVD playback, TV Tuner, Recording from videos, Tivo like, S-Video
Cons: Screen curve on TV, Update Drivers problem
I got the ATI All-in-Wonder so that I could watch DVD's running on my computer in my office on my big TV in the living room. It was easy to install and fairly easy to use.

The ATI has an S-Video output port and so I bought a long 25 foot...

"All-in-Wonder" Pretty Much Sums It Up

by w9design , Dec 27 '00
Pros: Has everything, including the kitchen sink. Fast 3D and High-Quality 2D.
Cons: No showstoppers, but better driver support could propel this card even further.
I don’t consider myself a gamer at all – most of the time I’m doing web design and programming. I had previously been using a Matrox G400, which is undisputedly the king of 2D, outperforming even workstation-level cards in terms of speed and clarity....

Keep In Mind

by kal-el , Sep 12 '00
Pros: Complete Integrated Video Powerhouse with Awesome 3D
Cons: GeForce 2 Ultra Looming
I have always been a fan of the All-In-Wonder series since my old AIW-Pro. The ability to watch TV and capture video have always fascinated those of us who want to push the PC's multimedia capabilities. This is especially important in tight spots like a...

I Wonder Why I Bought It

by soliloquy23 , Jan 26 '01
Pros: Mpeg2 video capture, nice graphics...um, did i mention Mpeg 2 capture?
Cons: poor sound when capturing, poor tech support, computer locks up
Let me give a little background to my situation. I like to record music videos here in japan. I had been using the Matrox G400-TV with no problems and I was happy with it. While back in the states i decided to upgrade my video card, i figure more and...

An incredible piece of engineering

by kadge , Nov 14 '00
Pros: Incredible functionality, TV and Digital VCR featues, one mean 3D chip, and excellent drivers.
Cons: A tad pricey, Multimedia Center could be more tweakable.
The ATI All-In-Wonder represents ATI's crowning achievement in the All-In-Wonder series. The features are almost too numerous to count.
First, we have the basic TV viewing application, powered by nicely refined drivers (Available for Windows 2000...

Excellent card with Excellent features

by matwood , Jun 05 '01
Pros: Digital VCR like Tivo, can record MPEG2, decent chipset, optimized for DirectX8.
Cons: Huge filesize for Digital VCR, Tuner not "crisp", not fastest card.
Background
My Diamond Viper 770 Ultra bit the dust and I needed a replacement. After reading opinions on this card and on other websites, the fact that I could use this as a digital VCR really intrigued me. I decided to give this card a try,...

It's a Wonder I Ever Survived Without It

by kinneys , Jul 07 '01
Pros: Excellent 2D. Decent 3D. Amazing DVD. Cool TIVO and Tuner features.
Cons: No Firewire. No RCA Audio in.
Well, not exactly. But still, I absolutely LOVE my ATI AIW Radeon.

To start with, it is based around ATI's Radeon GPU, which is paired with 32mb of 166mhz DDR RAM. While that is not as fast as the Radeon 64mb's 183mhz, the Radeon core does...

by ttsui01 , Dec 18 '00
Pros: Versatile, easy to use and install, great speed and quality
Cons: no website driver update
Rarely do I ever feel so excited by a video card. I have long considered ATI's All-in-Wonder line of graphic cards when it came time to upgrade. The original All-in-Wonder 4MB and 8MB were poor video cards with weak 3D support. At that time, the best way...

by yoyofella , Dec 16 '00
Pros: Does it all, good 3D acceleration
Cons: Does it all poorly, driver problem, unstable with K6 family processor.
Prior to purchasing the All-In-Wonder Radeon card, my intention was to replace the TV-Tuner/capture card (Xtreme), the DVD decoder card (Cinemaster), and my 3d acceleration card (Creative Lab's Riva TNT). By virtue of having all these different...

Pros: very high performance

Cons: inputs like vcr or dreamcast not great quality; lacks a remote
I bought this video card over my NVIDIA GeForce2 card not for gaming purposes, but for the entertainment purposes. I am a college student on a very tight budget and I can't afford a tv, dvd player, etc. so I decided to go the cheaper way and buy them...

Strong points almost out-weigh the weak points...almost

by billymann , Jul 21 '04
Pros: A lot of features, stable performance (for me in XP Pro), relatively affordable.
Cons: ATI tech support is non-existent, TV-On-Demand audio is awful, some TV channels are not clear.
I bought this card specifically to record home movies. The install went smooth (upgraded from Nvidia TNT2), no obvious compatibility issues. However, when using the video capture utility (TV-On-Demand), I noticed a loud "hiss" on the audio. I...

Pros: Fabulous colors, great features and flexibility with settings. Tuner and VCR are very handy.
Cons: A bit pricey. File player has glitch described below.
I've been using the card for about 4 months. As soon as I installed it I saw the difference in many of the games I play. For example the grass and other objects in Links were much sharper and the colors deeper. The ability to record TV programs on my...

This is a nice card for most people. It has very good 3D performance, and all the best features of any capture card on the consumer market. ATI, in the past, has had pretty good technical support, and they tend to release new drivers pretty frequently....
