I'm in the market for an ATI Radeon...I definately want one of the DX9 cards...the ones I'm considering are the 9500 pro, 9600 pro, and the 9700 non pro.

Do any of these, or any of the DX9 compatibile Radeon's have video capture capability? I know that the All-In-Wonder's do, but I'm not blowing $300+ on one of those...I'm afraid the $200 range is my limit...

I know I could always buy an additional capture card, but I thought it would be nice to purchase a card that already had the capability built in...

Also, do any of the Geforce FX5600 series have video capture capability? Not sure if I would sacrifice performance for video capture...but just curious....

No, only the AIW have VIVO. So get a 9600 Pro and the Leadtek $51 card (search Leadtek in Hot Deals for a 9,000-post thread)

fx5600 -- yes, I think I saw some with VIVO (but no TV tuner). Look at the descriptions at newegg.com, you can probably type VIVO into newegg's search to speed up the hunt.

I think some Radeon 9600s offer VIVO: Gigacube's 9600P, for starters. Many more GeForce cards have VIVO; Radeon cards are only just starting to offer it, mainly because of enterprising AIBs. It's about time, I say.
