Is there any way to completely prevent buffering with this combo (I forget the term - encoding, storing in circular buffer, decoding). I have no interest in this facility, and it's just causing problems with audio echo, audio out of sync, etc etc. Omega drivers, with latest WDM drivers. There, I...

My last two cards have been ATI AIWs (8500DV, 9800Pro). However, I'd quite like to move away from the constraints of a combined graphics and TV tuner card. One feature of the AIW that I do like is having the TV as desktop wallpaper. Does anyone know if any other make of TV tuner card has...

Remember folks, it's never a good idea to allow Windows Update to update hardware drivers, even if it's an update for your AIW Remote Wonder and not your actual video card. Yes, the recent "X10 Wireless Technology Inc. - Other Hardware - ATI Remote Wonder" stuffed my remote, but rolling back the...

I swore that after the AIW8500 I'd not buy another ATI card - by the time I got that working properly it was obsolete. But I ignored my own advice, and now I'm suffering for it. I briefly had an AIW9800SE, which was okay but which is being returned (again) as it was supplied in error (but that's...

I'm still having problems with a particular dealer trying to supply me with a non-Pro AIW 9800 card when I've ordered and paid for the Pro variant. Could someone confirm for me that the part number printed on the PCB for the Sapphire AIW9800Pro is 109-95700-10? I believe that the Sapphire...

Is there a utility or benchmark or demo program out there that can identify how many pipelines a particular ATI card has? /mel/

I've given up trying to figure out the performance differences between 9600, 9700, 9800. Then there's bog-standard or SE or Pro. I do know what AIW is at least. So, question: is a 128MB 9800Pro AIW a reasonable upgrade for my ageing 64MB 8500 AIW? Yeah, I know, 256MB would be better. I'm not into...

Is anyone running HL2 on an AIW8500DV or similar? Is it stable? What drivers are you using? -- /mel/

(I'm having a conversation with myself here, but hopefully it might help others). If you have an AIW do NOT install the DirectX 9.0b update. I found the thread at http://tinyurl.com/hxor which shows that others hare having tuning problems too. -- /mel/

I have ATi R9500Pro videocard and ASUS motherboard with nforce2 chipset. Every 3D game I can play for max. 2 mins and then it kicks me out to desktop! Fastwrite and AGP 8X are disabled in BIOS but I can't disable SBA anyhow! In old versions of Catalys drivers that was possible through ATi Control...

I'll be purchasing a new system soon with the P4 3GHz 800FSB and D875PBZ combo but I don't want to spend hundreds on a video card. What card would you suggest I should get? There're so many...Radeon, Leadtek, Asus...I have no idea. Thanks.

Sometimes the desktop appears on the 2nd monitor, but if i change something, anything in the control center, it vanishes. Thats pretty much annoying and it takes alot of tries to make the desktop to appear again on the 2nd monitor. Is Ati as stupid as Nvidia, or can this be fixed ?

Hello Friends of mine had bought a Radeon 8500 several months ago. It worked fine with W98SE but after changing to W2K it worked fine only for a limited time after which the computer had to be rebooted. The period of error free function was not reproducible, it ranged from 1 min to maybe 30 min....

Hi On AIW 9000Pro, how can I record a TV program in the Background? When I program it to record, when the recording time comes, it opens up the TV window and it gives the program and sound while recording (pre-programmed). Another window shows that it is recording. Is it possible to not to have...

Hi I have a number of options to record: - Home THeater PC (MPEG-4): *.avi - DVD (MPEG-2): *.mpg - Super VCD - VCD I can hook up another hard drive to my pc as I have installed a removeable drive;

I have seen an ATI Baseball Cap for sale on eBay. Does anyone know if ATI manufacture jackets or any other clothing? Many thanks, Dave (The Rave)

Are they available for sale? I see there are some Baseball Caps for sale on ebay. I would quite like an anorak or ski jacket if posible. If anyone knows where these are for sale please tell. Thank you, Mark

Hey I hope someone can help me. I bought the all in wonder 9700 pro but a lot of software on my computer and in my display settings, it reports that this card is the "at all in wonder 9700 series" but does not mention pro. I am concerned the vendor I bought this from gave me the wrong card. Can...

After I reformatted my HD, I've noticed that my TV Wonder card isn't showing up in the DM. I've tried installing the driver and MMC, but in both cases they quit without warning. I read on their site that the TVW needs an ATI graphics card -- that can't be right? I'm on an nVidia GeForce 2, Win98SE,...
