Which regular video card would be equal to this in gaming?

Edit: Also, can the all in wonder card be used in crossfire? if so which cards are it compatible with?

Any help thanks in advance.

X1900XT has the same number of pipelines. Don't know about the clock speed but the AIW is probably a little bit slower, certainly not faster.

It's exactly like an x1800xl or 7800gt most of the time.

In some specific situations, it's almost 7800gtx level.

Same specs as an x1800xl AIW, with its pixel pipeline on steroids.

Edit: See this thread. I'm tired of debating people about the performance. And yes, I've owned one.

If its that good, it sounds pretty good to me, worth the money.

Edit: Can it be used in crossfire though?

Worth the money? Maybe, if you have no qualms about the $150 deal others got.

No crossfire.

Well if its like a 7800gt, that costs 275 and doesn't have a TV tuner, and a decent tv tuner costs another 80 dollars or so. The All in Wonder costs only 230 dollars, looks like a deal to me.

Even better deal: $215

It runs like an x1800xl because it's underclocked. The design was a compromise: HTPC users want something slim and quiet, so ATI's design team gave this thing a single-slot cooler and underclocked the poor thing. The good news is it's a good deal as is, yet can be overclocked very well ...you just might want to put a better cooler on it.

If you volunteer your comp for distributed computing projects Folding@Home will support this card soon (because of the R580 chip). The GFLOPS performance of a high end ATI is about 100GFLOPS, about 8x better than a single-core high end CPU.
