With the release of ATI's Radeon X1900-series video cards, ATI's Radeon X1800-series has received a significant price drop. Along with the Radeon X1900XTX, X1900XT and X1900 CrossFire Edition cards, ATI also released the All-In-Wonder X1900 - a card designed to be the most complete card on the market.
While it's hard to deny that fact, because it comes with a great bundle and decent gaming performance, it lacks one key feature which would make it the most complete video card on the market. Unfortunately, the card lacks integrated support for HDCP content protection - something that's going to become increasingly important when HD-DVD and BluRay launch later this year.
We had a look at the reference ATI Radeon X1800XT in November, and found that it performed reasonably well - it was comparable to the faster GeForce 7800 GTX's, like XFX's Extreme Gamer Edition. Today, we're revisiting the performance delivered by the Radeon X1800XT with GeCube's implementation. With the release of the Radeon X1900-series, the Radeon X1800XT has come down to a price that's very similar to the All-In-Wonder X1900.
