[Mewzyc]

lol @ the antenna 

[nolabush25]

are there any new hd video cards with the option of watching cable tv from your house like this?

[Feircejaguar]

Will i be able to use this as a secondary card beside my primary 4870X2 and still be able to use the TV Tuner?

[MEGABOINK65]

This is the card i'am using now, i always used ATI card for as ong as i could rememeber. like it, the only problem grand theft auto on line lags. i agree not for gamers, but otherwise Awesome.

[arnXboxElite]

will this work with windows 7

[GameRemix]

Can you record of a Xbox 360 or PS3 with this?

[Xalies]

@GameRemix yep

[GameRemix]

is there anyway to hack it so i can input HD Component into it?

[ShadowChad]

@Xalies how the hell do i get my tv tuner to recognize the damn hdmi cable..its plugged from my tv to the port in the computer, but it won't display the tv on the screen

[Dorisequador]

you can do anything you want with this... and the software.

[GameRemix]

Do u know how to hack it? modify it?

[Dorisequador]

friends of mine do  you can do anything with anything you buy and make it bettter..

But this card is limited..

[crazelunatic]

anybody know what video inputs this card has? I would assume they give you the vga-dvi dongle because it has dvi in and hdmi out? I want this card so I can be able to play my old video sources with HD like quality. I have a vga to hdmi converter but I wasnt to impressed with it since 1280x1024 is the max vga input it can handle.

[Mr937595]

3d cum filter? ROFL

[MGlBlaze]

Damn, what's with all the vista hate? It doesn't suck any more. -_- Anyway, as a gamer I wouldn't be interested in that kind of card, but it would be excellent for a home entertainment system, or a hybrid entertainment/office system. Although if you had kids they could probably still play games on it too at a decent frame-rate if they didn't go insane with the resolution or detail options. =P

[UAstudios]

I make Machinima's and im looking into buying the future product of that type of card, would it be a good buy for halo movies?

[ArabianAngel7]

Awesome!

[thegtalover]

PLEASE ANSWER! This is an awesome video! I just want some advice since you're an expert at this stuff. What card do you recommend me? I just want to record footage from my Xbox 360, in High Definition [HDMI] Thanks, I am willing your answer.

[fallenembers08]

WHATS The song during the ending overview????

[Feircejaguar]

i dunno anything about TV Video Cards, but will i be able to use this card as a receiver and connect it to the satellite on the roof, basically replacing the need to a receiver?

[chrishallamd123]

seems like a nice card

[Leo88hk]

Is this video card currently support for any laptop?

[mikeymike93]

haha watched hancock last night XD

[Kaarel25]

At 3:59 u can see that DX10 has spaces between the stones, but DX9 doesn't...

DX10 Owns! :P

[joeb0]

but vista is like ME for laptops.

[accident777]

true dx10 is good but it isn't worth it if your stuck with vista

[Kaarel25]

true but if u have a good pc then u wont get stuck with vista...

[accident777]

dx10 only works with vista

[WackoX1337]

[areld]

And Windows 7

[tzadok06]

[Sup3rH0nda]

Nice review ...

Thanks a Million

[stevent430]

[BurtonReingold]

He is professional!

[enyceckk101]

[xavier425942]

it said it could run it on medium in the bench marks . . .

[enyceckk101]

Oh thanks , I think I didn't hear it

[xavier425942]

no problem

[mopman1337]

you're my hero Rodney Reynolds! I need MOAR

[shigalbigal]

I'm watching this video in HD it's like SO COOL !!! but it loads verry slow :(

[3DGAMEMAN]

Depending on your cable connection, yes. Just pause it, let it download and watch later.

[shigalbigal]

Ok. :)

[littlebigalex]

@shigalbigal haha! Stupid people of the past

[shigalbigal]

@littlebigalex

Well yeah, thats how it was "back in the days", sorry for not being 14 years old, watching HD shit since 1st time I sat on my PC...

[littlebigalex]

@shigalbigal sorry mate it was just a joke ;]

[hsew]

quick question, why does he say "PCI-e interface of 2 vs 1" instead of saying "PCI-e 2.0"? it may be confusing to some, as they might interpret it as PCIe 1x vs PCIe 2x

[RobertJGowans]

I always love your reviews Rodney, but I don't understand why you play that DirectX10 clip everytime a card supports it. DX10 is nothing to get excited about, so I don't see why it should occupy half the review. What you mention in that clip is pure marketing hype and is far from reality.

I always like watching your reviews, but whenever I see the DX10 clip I cringe from its cheesyness and complete lies.

Just a quick thought :)

[hussainmushahid]

he puts it just to show the comparision that this card is better than the previous direct x 9 card and its only of 2-3 mins no problem,no need to be so irritated by it.

[Bouweenpc]

I agree with RobertJGowans. DirectX 10 isn't as revolutionary as everybody had hoped for.

[smoljakovski]

sry ignore that

[smoljakovski]

is this just good for TV or is it good for gaming too?

[hussainmushahid]

its more better for tv but it can run games preety well,but not that great.

[hussainmushahid]

it uses 3650 chip so its not for gaming but you can play games such as counterstrike.

[Lvaneede]

lol, All-In-Wonder

i c wut they did thar

[steamhackman]

Can you do me a favor and stop talking like a fucking robot?

K thanks

[nerddna]

thats what isaid

[rex3453]

Don't be a dick to.

[Cloxnman]

dont watch then bitch

[Lvaneede]

lol

[kainaussie]

youtube is getting so bad with these ads

[A350cid]

YouTube's hd format is less than impressive

[AussieTemplar]

Actually its more than than impressive.

[A350cid]

ooops brain fart, forgot to see if the little HD icon was there. Viewed another HD vid, and they do look great.

As good as Vimeo's HD u think?

[AussieTemplar]

better

[joeywilkie57]

i love your vids! and good job on this review! it looks like you put a lot of time into it. nice card :p

[roflcap]

Nice card. I might consider buying one.

[Sephy69]

rodney you may have just made my decision on my next upgrade. my room is very limited in space and this graphics card would rid my room of my old tv at last! thanks a load, what an excellent review! 5* & faved

[moffe247]

The HD function is so FRAKING awsome! The detail and sound is so good!

[DerekFord95]

Hey, what card is this comparable to? 4650? 3870? 4830?

Thanks!

[3DGAMEMAN]

It have a HD 3650 GPU, so it's comparable to the HD3 650 video card.

[andrewjwarren03]

I'm kind of confused as to how that product is considered kick ass? Judging from your review it sounded like you were leaning towards a "good" or maybe "great" rating. The complaints that you very clearly mentioned sounded like they really disappointed you, so why did it get "kickass"?

[3DGAMEMAN]

Aside from the single tuner it is an excellent product :)

[ManuelDr]

Rodney on HD ftw!

[vesleengen]

I would love to see a version of this card with 2 tv tuners and a smart card reader and maybe an extra HDMI out... i would not care if it even took up 3 slots if it had all that good stuff :D

[r1oot]

just wondering, does this card support ATSC??

[3DGAMEMAN]

Variety of Broadcast Signals  The ATI All-in-Wonder™ HD is a feature-rich tuner providing the ability to receive analog (NTSC), digital/HDTV (ATSC) and unencrypted digital cable (ClearQAM) signals with time shifting functionality1,2,3. You can also listen to your favorite FM radio stations to listen to your favorite grooves, talk shows or the latest news.

[Eugbob]

WHy did you re view this if it isn't designed for gamers? You are 3DGAMEMAN......

[3DGAMEMAN]

This is more than capable of playing the latest games, but it's just not a fast card to it. This is really meant for a HTPC for it audio/video capabilities. Also, I review more than just hardcore gaming products ;) Are you new to my video reviews?

[Zerololz]

Considering 3DGamerman reviews specializes more for the gaming audience - entry level, high end, holy crap range.

Basically it allows PC buyers who are interested in buying a media PC also know how well it can cope with modern day games as a secondary purpose.

Where as mine is the other way around :P main purpose gaming secondary purpose entry level media uses.

Probably came out all wrong.. but either way another kick ass review Rodney.

[Zlyzer]

I've been subscribed to you for some time now but I just wanted to remind you of the great job you're doing :)

[3DGAMEMAN]

Thanks :) It's nice to get a compliment from time to time.

[MetalGhost360]

i rly cant imagine not watching this in HD

[chestbuster1987]

Very interesting product. I haven't seen anything quite like it.

Ignoring the audio and TV functions, which ATI video card would be close to its graphics performance? (I realize it isn't especially for gaming but I am curious)

[Omellykim]

:O

3:53 at HD

[Omellykim]

3:53

[Wakkajakka]

I wish I would have hung on to my old motherboard, and AMD 64 processor. That way I could get one of these cards for a good home theatre drone... Then all I would need to do is to steal me some cable. lol

[weeksy79]

it seems to lacking compared to past all in wonders :/ i was waiting for this as a new part to my rig but the lack of remote really sucks. and still not sure how well it would work in the UK :S

[Spect8er1]

but its still decent for medium detail gaming isnt it? im thinking of getting one for my HTPC

[3DGAMEMAN]

It's ok for gaming but I would go for one the ATI 4000 series video card instead. Now, it they would make an AIW video card with a 4870 GPU and have two TV tuner, that would be 100% KICKASS, but very pricey.

[OfekS123]

good i wait for review on this product.

good video rodny.

[SacreDro]

what model is this hd 4850?

[3DGAMEMAN]

I mentioned this is the video review ;) It's the HD3650 GPU

[gadgetron089]

nice video Rodney, do you know if there is going to be a passive variety of this card?

[celtic426]

COMPosite or comPOSITE ?

[trolltrolling]

Who cares?

[launger]

strange name

[B1U3P5YCH0]

I have the old AGP ati all in wonder in my media PC :D, there rly good, thumbs UP^^

[Computenator]

fuck you!

[mudyan]

NVidia fanboy detected...

[Vagmonster666]

god i hate ignorant people

[sergi5122]

why?

[ambush136]

Hey you changed the DX10 part! Nice!

[SmoKingFit]

good idea but not for gaming....maybey for film lovers :)

[Andrewacl]

nice but not for gaming

[thomas744]

#1024 (Mo?)

=)

[LETHLSS]

no HD? =(

[3DGAMEMAN]

It takes a while for YouTube to process it. Wait a while and there will be an HD option.

[Computenator]

exactly, i'm still amazed that ppl can't understand that it takes time for videos to process...

[3DGAMEMAN]

I been asked this question. So might have to do a Q&A on it.

[Computenator]

that's a great idea

[t1mmy13]

Nice one :D
