ATI All-In-Wonder X800 XT 100-714200 Radeon X800XT 256MB 256-bit GDDR3 AGP 4X/8X Video Card

Comments: I am very pleased with this card. I bought it primarily for games: Doom 3, Quake 4, Half-Life 2, FEAR and COD2. It plays the games to my complete satisfaction at resolutions of 1280 and UP with bells and whistles enabled. Secondarily I bought the card for video editing. I am transferring VHS to DVD and so far it hasn't let me down. The TV capture works fine as does the radio. The DVD player won't start but I have others so no matter. I had occasion to call ATI tech support, a free call, and everyone spoke good English and were helpful with everthing but the DVD. Make sure and download all the drivers at ATI's site before installing the card and make sure you get rid of ALL prior drivers. If you don't do this you will have problems. NEWEGG's price and delevery were/are top shelf

Pros: ATI MMC and PVR Works good if you install everything right (do not have any USB devices attached during install of drivers)

Cons: Lack of SM 3.0 (but there is vitually zero difference anyway between 3.0 and 2.0b ... yet)

Overall Review: After having this card for a week i have had few if any issues with it. I am using an ECS 755-A2 motherboard with it and all of the PVR funtions and live TV works flawlessly (but i would rather use snapstream or MCE with it) although the ATI MMC is very nice itself. I was able to use a motorola cable signal booster to get a better TV picture (considerably better) and it cleaned up the slight interferance i had. The X800XT will run any game out there now at 1280x1024 with full eye candy and probably for one to two more years to come as it's still a very fast videocard (in between 6800GT and 6800 Ultra speeds in most games and faster than a 6800 Ultra in a few games at certain resolutions). If you are willing to upgrade to the AsRock Dual 939 motherboard with AGP and PCIe (legitimate AGP and NOT XGP) -the board i will soon be getting, you don't have to worry about the card being AGP. Soon i will be using an X2 4400 with the AsRock and this AGP card (which i will order right here).

Pros: I am really happy with this card. The thruview feature is really cool. Games and multimedia apps really work well.

Cons: The only flaw in the entire install was a invalid index error when attempting to install the Multimedia Center software. I sent in a repair ticket on the ATI site and the next day I got a response with the solution, (I had to unplug all my USB devices before the install of MMC).

Overall Review: It is importand to download all the most current driver and software updates and follow all the directions. W2K Pro Pentium 4 2.4 ASUS P4PE 1gb ram 2 -80gb SATA drives Raid 0 1 - 320gb ata drive 1 - 120gb ata drive

Pros: This is a fantastic card I've had for almost a year now. It will handle most games on high settings and play any game out there.

Cons: The AIW tools are extremely buggy - took me hours just to get it working right and I'm a Sr. Systems Admin. TV looks terrible on a monitor. I finally uninstalled the AIW features just use this card for games only. Also, Catalyst drivers aren't quite there yet.

Overall Review: If you have patience, and perhaps a more compatible system, then this may be the card for you. For gaming only, look elsewhere for a better value. The RIG I used this card on: Gigabyte nForce 2 moboard 2 gigs of Corsair ValueRam AMD Athlon XP 3000+ 450 W PS

Pros: This card is awesome. I got it after i recieved a faulty one from newegg but they replaced it and i got his on einstead. I didnt bother to get the tv to work( didnt evn connect the wires) but i will in the future and play and watch movies on my TV. The radio is great and recordes your favorite songs to mp3s so u can listen to htem lat wil or just rewind the radio( fm only, no am). The remote took about 15 mins to install since the cd driveres were a little bit outdated but i got them off the ati site and was working great. You can use it to control the mouse, assign hotkeys, apps, whatever. Now the GRAPHICS. evn without overclocking i ran FEAR and BF2 at 1024 by 728 all on MAX SETTINGS and it worked flawlessly. If you want to overclock, then use Ati Tray tools only!!! This wil give u significantly more power than ATI tool or others as i went from 500/500gddr3 to 560/620gddr3! THats better tehn the new x1800!!W/e, get this card for games or what ever i REAlLY reccommend it,

Cons: I got it about 4 months ago with no flaws, but then i had a xx dollar rebate so i hear now its more expensive. And one more thing, the cd drivers were a little old but u can easily get them off of ATI.com and the card will rock like newegg.

Overall Review: I <3 Newegg. ImaYam <check me out at BF2

Pros: Excellent in 3D gaming. Can run HL2 with all options maxed. Card setup on my 2 year old MSI board without a hitch. Used drivers on CD, have had no problems. Be sure to uninstall your old video drivers before you even take out your old card, you will save yourself hours of trouble.

Cons: I can only give this four eggs because of the bundled software. The pinnacle software is so crippled, that it is basically useless. You can capture video, but that is where it ends, unless you send them twenty nine bucks.

Overall Review: Why has New Egg switched from FedX ro UPS three day? I have placed 4 orders since they switched to UPS and the fastest I have recieved my three day order is five days. One order took a full seven days to arrive!! FedX three day shipping usually took two to three days. I hope this isn't a sign of things to come.

Pros: *Fan Control Actually works well *TV quality is good if you configure right *Ridiculously fast card in games

Cons: *No SM 3.0

Overall Review: Owned this for about a month now. I was going to get a 6800GS and switch to a S754 PCIe mobo but decided that i could actually live with this AGP card and eventually upgrade to the asrock dual 939 later on. In most games this card will stick to within 2-8 frame rate average of a X850XT PE and that's more than good enough for me. SM 3.0 and HDR is of no tangible benefit now anyway and likely will not be for about a year or so.

Pros: -Plays all the high-end games and makes them look great. -Cooling is pretty silent (at least in a case that has two 120mm fans). -Price is great.

Cons: -Setup is a bit tricky. -TV doesn't seem to be the greatest (but it could be other parts of my system). -Can't max out the settings on games.

Overall Review: I've tried all the software that came with this, including the TV software, and I wasn't impressed by it all. It seems to show TV programs fine, but since I didn't have any need to watch TV on my computer at the moment, I just uninstalled it. But I didn't get it to watch TV. I got this to play games, and this does not dissappoint. Minus the AIW stuff and it's still a good price for a X800. If you still have an AGP slot and are working on a 9800PRO or less, and don't want to purchase a new system, get this upgrade and it should last you at least year. Then when you do purchase a new system with PCI-Express, this can move to the living room and record shows. That's my plan.
