this card is Nice. I dont really need the AIW stuff, as I 1, have the TV wonder usb 2.0, 2, 9800 pro AIW, and 3, have a seperate TV tuner...but this thing does have the new remote wonder 2 and a FM Tuner (bad ass) and I couldnt get the x800xt in agp at the store I was at, it was only in pci-e....

Card is NICE. great viduals and I love being an ATI user again. Well, I always had my 9800pro running but not in my main rig.

Valve's Steam survey concluded that the majority of Steam gamers are using the 9800 Pro, which is interesting.

Frankly the 9800 Pro in my LAN party rig runs everything I have just fine, although in newer games I can't go over 1024x768 (which is adequate). On my main rig with the x800 I can run everything comfortably at the monitor's native res of 1280x1024.

It runs everything fine at 1600/1200 as well. thats what my monitors native rez is.

My 6800gt oc did that also, but I dont like its drivers, its 2d was poor, and its movie stuff was weak compared to ati's.

Love the Thruview options while watching TV or DVDs and surfing the net at the same time.
