ATI ALL-IN-WONDER series of products have always been the industry's most sophisticated and feature-rich graphics cards, as in addition to powerful visual processing units they sported a broad set of multimedia capabilities. Unfortunately, the complicated board design and some other issues did not let ATI to introduce AIW products right after the company's latest VPU is launched; as a consequence, the commercial products as well as reviews of ALL-IN-WONDER based on the RADEON X800 XT introduced 11 months ago make it to the market and the Web only now.

Beyond3D has written an extensive review of ATI's ALL-IN-WONDER X800 XT board trying to cover every aspect of such graphics card, including TV picture quality, 3D performance, video performance and even overclocking.

?Clearly, though, the All-In-Wonder X800 XT is a very high performance 3D graphics board, offering up to 2x-3x the performance of ATI's previous high end All-In-Wonder 9800 PRO and not too far behind the very latest high end standard graphics boards ATI have to offer, with better PC and Audio/Video output options, the additional capabilities of TV and FM Radio reception, with all the PVR functionality that goes with that, and video file capture capabilities if you need it. All of this comes packaged in a fairly compact, single slot, board that will be suitable for most systems including Shuttle type small form factor PC's,?reports Beyond3D.

The web-site notes that ATI's THEATER 550 PRO TV card is much better in terms of MPEG quality than the latest AIW.

?At the very least ATI have topped themselves in terms of MPEG quality with the Theater 550 PRO boards and anyone looking to do some serious video capture may well be best served looking at separate solutions like that for the time being,?concludes the web-site.
