9800 pro or All in Wonder

[kaisermoran]

Whats the difference between a 9800 pro 128Mb and the 9800 All in Wonder. Which is the best for playing games?

Cheers, Deano

The only plus to the AIW is that it is a tv tuner as well as a video card. This means you can hook up a coax cable to it and watch tv on your pc. They preform exactly the same other wise.

If you want a tv tuner and dont have room for a seperate pci card, go for the AIW, otherwise find a good tv tuner card. They are better than a video card and tv tuner card in one.

yeah.. Get them separately. My tv tuner is external. Pretty good quality.

Gives u the freedom to upgrade your vid card later.

The All in Wonder cards also allow you to input audio/video devices and record with quite exceptional quality on your computer. For example, if you have many old VHS tapes, you can easily hook up a VCR, record the videos to your computer, and burn them to DVDs.

I have both a standard 9800 Pro, and an AIW, both perform virtually the same graphics wise, the AIW is just basically a "do all" card.
