The video card market can really cause a lot of aggravation for the casual gamer that really enjoys playing the latest and greatest titles, but simply can not afford to keep up with the seemingly monthly release of new silicone. Considering a budget level video card does not necessarily mean that you'll be stuck with horrible performance at the expense of supporting the latest technologies. Albatron has added yet another FX5700 chipset video card to their mid-level line-up, with a price that rings in under $130 US. Given a little bit of Overclocking, performance can be increased even further to add longevity to your purchase decision.

ATI has been a strong presence in the multi-function market. Basically, a video cards main function is to put on the screen visual code from the program most importantly to many is to display games at an acceptable frame rate. But what about if you want to make your computer a home-theatre system? You could spend a thousand dollars on those retail systems running Windows XP Media Center Edition. But ATI has provided for a long time a different solution: the All-In-Wonder line of graphics cards. These cards allow you to do many things, from playing DVDs, to watching and even recording television shows. Here at Modsynergy we got a chance to see what the ATI All-In-Wonder Radeon 9600 128MB video card can do.

The ATi Radeon X800 series may very well be the best video cards money can buy right now, but what will happen to the cards that were the best just a couple weeks ago? As crazy as it sounds, those cards are now considered mid range. Normally, I almost never run right out and purchase a video card as soon as it is released. I usually wait and purchase that top end card when prices fall due to the next generation of video cards being released. Now is one of those times. We all know the Radeon 9800 series has been the champ for a long time now, so the best of the best would be the Radeon 9800XT series.
