What do you mean. They were almost always competetive. This isn't s3 virge shit. Ati128 wasn't bad, it was just the budget card. They also kept up with that tv out (and sometimes in) for years and years.

This card offers 4th generation 3D performance in a 5th generation world. However, if you?re a casual gamer looking for a card with the video capabilities of the All-In-Wonder 128 Pro, I?d have no problems recommending this card to you. ATI isn?t marketing this as a V5 or GeForce killer, that?s what the RADEON is for. On the other hand, with the All In Wonder 128 Pro, they have delivered a good all around solution with some great features.

Tv in, tv out, mpeg2 decoding.

Kind of a good budget card tbqh senpai, all the features you need to turn a shitty cpu into a media pc.
I remember my radeon 9800 was hot fucking shit when it came out.
