    Three top cards for you this afternoon. Firstly, the ATI All-In-Wonder 9800 Pro over at Viper Lair:

    "The AiW 9800 Pro isn't all play though. For casual video editors, the Theater 200 is a technological marvel, and improves greatly on the previous generation of the chip. The end result is a cleaner image, and additional items such as the Cobra Engine, and VideoSoap are welcome features for video editors."

    Full AIW review here. Of course you can get a second opinion on this by reading Eddie's Review of the AIW.

    Next up, the Albatron Geforce FX 5900PV 128MB over at SubZeroTech:

    Many video card (VGA) sales are directed towards the mainstream. And as such many of the video cards sold currently by Nvidia are in the mainstream pricing and feature bracket. For example, the Geforce FX 5200 Ultra and 5600 model video cards sell much, much more than the high end cards. This means that the money these companies make is generally not linked directly to enthusiast class boards. However, this does not make those enthusiast boards any less important to us, and any less valuable to the manufacturer. You see, these flagship “top of the line” boards define brand names. These are the sort of products that create reputations and make and break hardware groups. As you can imagine when a company like Albatron puts together a video card package based on the Geforce FX 5900 Ultra chipset it is going to be something special. That was just the case with this video card

    Finally, check out OCNZ's review of the PowerColor R9800SE 128MB VGA:

    PowerColor R9800SE is quite an interesting card. Its performance at stock is nothing to be proud of. Heck, it is even slower (sometimes) than an overclocked R9600Pro. However, the table starts to turn when the remaining 4 Pixel-Pipelines are enabled. After hacking and overclocking, the R9800SE is just as fast as any other R9800 on the market."
