Biased to ATI site. Pfff. ATI might be a decent card but nVidia owns in game support and I don't care what an Ad plastered site says otherwise. nVidia is my next card even if it's 10fps slower. WHO CARES! ATI support totally sucks, did he mention that in his report.. Nooooo, of COURSE NOT. You are all too stupid to need that kind of INFORMATION. (I'm kidding about the 'you are all' just making a point that anyone can write a bs review and leave out the major important facts)

They took a look at VIDEO, not GAMES. Then why the hell do you talk about games? YOU have a biased opinion, not them.

you don't buy a video card for movies bud. get a grip.

you can do video and divx with a geforce mx400, who cares!

ATI on the otherhand has had previously piss poor support(not mentioned at all in the review) to former tv card owners including their all in wonder products they chose to discontinue development of software for it. 2 cards I have seen or had from ati, discontinued fU support. at the time they didn't even scrape the bottom of the bucket in linux, there was just a "we do not support linux" and fu, people made hacked drivers for linux that worked almost better than the windows side with more features! i had this pos ATI software that was nearly the only thing that worked(but unsupported), then it just gathered dust on my shelf and i spent money on a tv tuner card, wintv which has proved to be amazing for last 2 years I have had it. I'm spending $500 on a card, i'm not paying so i can play divx, get real, i'm buying it to be the most 'compatible' with games and be fast and have good prompt service.

Who says you buy a card for video only? That's nonsense! It's always about games.
But that's like with a TV: you pick one with a screen as huge as possible and as better image quality as possible, but you ALSO want a proper remote control. So would you say a guy is an idiot if he said a mediocre TV had a great remote control? He's just saying the remote is good, no word on anything aside it. He doesn't say "buy this TV because it has a great remote and it compensates for the shitty everything else", he says "this TV's remore is great period". So why do you blame him?
