ATI's Radeon All In Wonder
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Tom's Hardware has a beta release of ATI's All in Wonder Radeon 8500 DV. The card still has some bugs, but it's looking like a nice all-in-one card:
No other card on the market offers such comprehensive multimedia capability, together with respectable 3D gaming performance. Only the tuner problem somewhat dampened the positive impression that we got from it. Granted, we used the North American version, which could very well be incompatible to European standards - in any case the European version won't be out on the market until next year, so ATI should have enough time to rectify the problem. Another cause for worry was the large amount of heat generated by the TV tuner. ATI says that this is due to the construction of the silicon tuner, which has a significantly larger power intake than conventional tuners, but brings with it the advantage of image quality.

The card performs around a GeForce 3 TI 200 because it's clocked down. I wonder if ATI will offer another top of the line card which runs at the regular 8500s speed....should be interesting.
