DailyTech - AMD Revives All-In-Wonder Video Card Line

Quote:

ATI announced today an all-new ATI All-In-Wonder HD video card that promises Radeon gaming performance combined with ATI TV Wonder HD tuning in one PCIe card. ATI says that the one All-In-Wonder HD solution will allow for PC gaming as well as tuning and recording of digital HDTV and analog TV programming.

Techgage reports that the GPU is based on the older RV635 PRO technology used in the HD 3650. Clock speed for the GPU is 725MHz and the memory clock is 600MHz. A small daughter card connects to the main video card by way of a cable and secures in a PCI slot on the case, but doesn’t actually connect to the PCI bus of the mainboard. When added the daughter card allows for S-Video, stereo in and out and component video.
The MSRP for the ATI All-In-Wonder HD card is $199.

sweeeet! when the price drops some may have to get an HTPC box going...

Ah, they were POS's years ago, I can't image them being any different now

You're crazy, like a fox. The 9800 Pro AIW was one of the best cards of its time. The downside to having the tuner integrated onto the videocard is that you lose its capabilities if you want to upgrade your GPU, but if that's a non-issue, the AIW proved itself a great addition. I'm stoked they're bringing it back.

Yea, being garbage!!! IMO! I had to return 2 different cards, and then went to an Nvidia after the 2.

So your experience is limited to two cards (Probably the same model?) that both failed.

Are you referring to ATI in itself, or the AIW cards. There is no reason why the AIW cards should be any less reliable?

I owned a 9600 AIW and it was great. It was one of the best overclocking cards and worked fine until the day I killed it.
