Okay, I want a new video card, but currently I'm very divided on my opinion. I've already looked at the Ti 4600s with Video In / Video Out and like the price point, but don't like the fact that they're not DX9.
Seen the FX reviews (5800, 5200, and 5600). The 5800 is too expensive and too loud to justify compared to others. The 5200 is too slow compared to the Geforce4 series. The 5600 seems about right, performance could be better, but I get DX9 and good FSAA, etc.
ATI was a company I thought I'd never buy from again, but I just might. Performance wise they're currently better, and their new mainstream line will all have DX9. My question is this: is it possible for me to get an ATI card with Video In (so I can hook up a TV/Playstation/etc to it) without buying the All-In-Wonder? I simply don't need all the features the All-In-Wonder has and don't want to pay for all that.

Trade yourself in for the perfect one. No one needs to know that you feel you've been ruined!
