ATI products that have VIVO (video in, video out connectors) usually have "All In Wonder" or AIW as part of the product name. Your x700pro is just a video card, without hardware VIVO capability, as near as I can tell. According to the ATI web page, the x700pro has "VideoShader HD" for "improved DVD playback", and that is for watching DVD movies. This is an example of an ATI PCI-Express card with the AIW name. Video I/O is via a breakout cable: http://www.newegg.com/OldVersion/app...102-463&depa=0 Some pictures: http://www.newegg.com/OldVersion/app...102-463-04.jpg HTH, Paul |

Can we tell that nvidia as gain some experience in term of quality rendering. ie: 3d forms + more colors and stuff like that? if so it woulb be a must with it mid range cards like the 6600gt http://www.thechannelinsider.com/art...1743460,00.asp This web site compare the aopen 6600gt to the x700pro and prouve that the x700pro sucks in 3dmark, doom3 and far cry witch are the kind of game that i play for the graphic and it special effect... gamer stuff :-) hmm, the more that i think the more i think to switch back to nvidia. a+ Have a look around. There might be other ATI products, like this one: http://www.d-silence.com/headlines/A...by%20ATI/21334 "All-In-Wonder X800 XL for PCI Express will be available later this summer with an MSRP of $399 USD" http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/pro... 067121&catid= You might want to check that link if your in canada it's cost around 350 $ can for an ati x800xl and going from a 9800pro to a x700pro is not wise unless your satisfy with the frame rate you already got. Note - that is _not_ the same thing as this card. There are already plenty of AGP versions of that card out there, and the new one (not shipping yet) will be PCI Express. This is an example of the older AGP one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...2E16814102492R Also, you don't have to purchase AIW type products - you could purchase a separate capture card, and a gamer graphics card, and have the best of both worlds. That way, you can find the feature set you want on the capture card. While this one is far from ideal, it is an example of packaging of a separate ATI Theatre chip and tuner on a card. Hauppauge and others make capture cards too. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16815117801 HTH, Paul |
