Just read a fantastic guide to all the new and different types of anti-aliasing choices we have now. The information is well written so that most everyone can understand the concepts and includes pictures showing the effects of each AA type. Covered are MSAA, SSAA, EQAA, MLAA, etc and their...

Lists are like as*h***s , everybody has one. PC Magazine recently made one of the most violent video games. See below: 1. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare - Hard to argue with that when it's banned from military bases. 2. Postal - Maybe in it's day, but that was more than 15 years ago. 3. Mortal...

Judging by the limited traffic on the Multimedia Forum lately, I guess this question answers itself. In any case, does anyone know if ATI has dropped support for the HD600, HD650 and HD750 TV Tuners? This is the second month in a row with no new drivers issued for any of these cards. I know...

Anybody else notice there's no 10-5 drivers released for any of the ATI TV Tuners? What's up with that? Are they going to quit supporting the cards? Just curious.

Reformatted my computer to do a clean install of Vista Ultimae 32 bit and the Vista Media Center TV Pack so I could use the "supposedly" dual tuner capability of my Visiontek HD650 PCI. Not! Ran the setup and all I could get was single analog tuner output. Re-ran setup and manually chose...

I had a bunch of old parts lying around and managed to cobble together a low tech system for less than $90. (Had to buy a CPU) I’d like to put in a decent video card like the 5770. I’ve read on other forums that some people are having trouble with the 5770 refusing to Post, so I’m not sure the...

I'm using Vista Ultimate SP2 and have a Visiontek HD 650 PCI Tuner with a 4770 video card. I've read that the TV Pack must be installed on a clean Vista install. Does anyone know if the TV Pack will work on a fully patched Vista setup with the Cat 9-12 drivers already installed?

Check out this post and take it with a grain of salt. After all, the site is named Semi Accurate. http://www.semiaccurate.com/2009/10/06/nvidia-kills-gtx285-gtx275-gtx260-abandons-mid-and-high-end-market/

Found this article at Extreme Tech. Ouch! All of you (me) that have older cards are getting fewer driver updates after Cat 9-3. Check it out at: http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,2845,2342476,00.asp Can't say as I blame ATI for this move, but why are the ATI partners still selling the...

I would like to start a string about what software people are using with their assorted ATI TV Tuner/AIW cards, that make them work best. That includes hardware, OS’s, drivers, CMC editions, or other tuner software, both retail and free. For instance: I have a Visiontek HD650 with the black...

Nice interview at Driver Heaven with AMD's Chief Driver Executive, Terry Makedon. Check it out: http://www.driverheaven.net/interviews.php?interviewid=13 Some news about future Catalyst releases included.

I am happily reformatting my computers with Vista Business after thoughtlessly installing the 951847 update, so graciously provided for free by our beloved Microsoft .Net gang. Turns out, I'm not the only one having problems with this cute little program. I have a Visiontek and Sapphire Theater...

I've managed to install the CMC 1.0.4210 with no problems (Thanks MrDave), but am still using the Cat 8.5 Theater Driver. Has anyone tried using the new Cat 8.11 on a 650 PCI? I'd love to upgrade, but a bad driver install means a complete software un-install/re-install on my system. Vista 32...

I'm still using the Cat 8.5 driver with my Visiontek TV Wonder 650. The Cat 8.6 and 8.7 drivers just would not work at all. Failed to scan for TV channels. Has anyone tried the 8.8's?

I've got a 9800 Pro AIW which originally came with MMC 9.061. It was very stable and worked well. The CD has went the way of the Wicked Witch of the West and no longer works. Also, MMC 9.16 doesn't work well at all with this card. I've tried searching the ATI site for a separate download of MMC...
