Any alternatives to the ATI All-in-Wonder VE??

**tom2112** · 03-20-2004, 11:39 AM

I'm looking for a PCI video card with integrated TV tuner. I want something very much like the ATI All-in-Wonder VE, which is a Radeon 7500 with TV tuner.

But there's one problem: I hate ATI video cards! I really want one with a GeForce chipset. There a several out there, but none that are PCI, they're all AGP. I've only found one card: ProLink PixelView All-in-Combo TV 256 PCI but I can't find one for sale, and I can't find out if it has drivers for WinXP or not.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

TIA,
Tom

If you've searched and not found what you're looking for, then chances are it doesn't exist. I would suggest that if you really want the GeForce then you should get the GeForce and also get a TV capture card. The two components don't have to be on the same device. If you're out of slots, they make USB TV capture devices.

True, true. I could go the combo route: one card, one USB. I'll keep that as a last resort. I was just hoping someone here knew of an all-in-one solution. There's some pretty resourceful people in here!

Nope, ATI has the market cornered in that regard.

That's what I was afraid of. Maybe I'll bite the bullet and buy the ATI.

Why don't you like them? Bad experience in the old days?

Question. Do you also hate AMD and XBOX, and like Intel and PS2?

I dont know why you dont want the radeon. It is rather pricey but they are well worth it, if you game. If not go cheap, it doesnt matter.

Why would you want to put a geforce in an M10000 board anyways? Are you going to be gaming on it? You could just get a PCI TV/FM tuner card.
