The Powercolor X1600XT Bravo is a decent mainstream videocard for light gaming. It really offers a lot if you plan to take advantage of the variety of video in/out options. Of particular interest is bound to be the component output (Y, Pb, Pr) to a home theatre HDTV display. In terms of performance, the Powercolor X1600XT Bravo was pretty good for its class, and in some benchmarks performed on par with GeForce 6800GT and Radeon X800 XL level videocards. Overclocking was not a strong suit of the PowerColor X1600 XT Bravo... and we'll just leave that at that...

Are you building a new PC or HTPC and are looking for a great budget card? PowerColor may have exactly what you need, with their X1600XT 256MB. It offers great gaming performance for a budget card, and includes the AVIVO technology to make your video experience even better...

ATi's new X800 lineup competes very well against nVIDIA's GeForce 6600/GT series. These two Geforce GPUs are currently some of the best mid-level videocards out there. The PowerColor X800 GTO is one of the new series of ATi X800 videocards, and it offers up quite a bevy of value for the mainstream consumers. The ATI 'R430' core is built on the 0.11 micron manufacturing process, and contains some 160 million transistors. The PowerColor X800 GTO core speed is 400MHz and this version features 128MB DDR memory running along at 350MHz...

Powercolor does a great job at showcasing the power of the Radeon X1900 XT but the bundle is standard and it's not the cheapest package available. The good news though is that purchasing the XT over the XTX will save you a reasonable chunk of cash but performance is very close to its bigger brother making it the second fastest graphics card available to buy right now...

This card is fantastic value for money; that is the one statement I will stress with this card. This card will not give you huge benchmarks scores, nor will it play games at crazy detail levels. However, It will provide you with adequately detailed gaming and smooth frame rates. I can imagine that buying the 256mb version of this card would make games play much better at resolutions between 1024*768 and 1280*1204, but of course with that comes extra cost. For £50 you could expect a lot less, but with Powercolor's x1300 128mb card you can expect a good standard of video card that will not let you down...

The PowerColor X1300 will be fine for those who find the onboard graphic card is acting up and in need of a replacement; play computer games so that you are not totally out of touch with your friends or co-worker; a graphic card that does not cost more than a pair of value memory modules. Yet, it delivers the latest technology at the time you really want to play that popular game so many people are talking about...

If you're looking for a TV tuner to fill that empty PCI Express x1 slot on your motherboard, the PowerColor Theater 550 Pro PCI Express may be what you're looking for. Excellent picture quality and a small form factor coupled to a PCI Express x1 bus makes the T550P PCI-E an ideal TV tuner for most systems - even if the PCI Express x1 slot is placed very close to the graphics card. Home theater PC users looking for a TV tuner for Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 should also check out the T550P PCI-E as well. At around $80 the PowerColor Theater 550 Pro PCI Express is fairly priced TV tuner however, at the time of publishing everyone is sold out and are expecting availability once again around the end of this month...

The X1300Pro Bravo edition from PowerColor is the perfect choice for an HTPC system as it provides a multitude of features including ATI's AVIVO video playback technology, the aforementioned VIVO function for capturing from a variety of sources, and gaming performance that is very acceptable for the average person...

If you're looking for a cheap upgrade and don't have intention on using either CrossFire or SLI, the X800GTO16 is not a bad investment for anyone in the market not looking for bragging rights...

The new Radeon X1900 series shares the same overall architecture and features that the Radeon X1800 series boasts, but the core now has one significant change - more shader processors. To be precise, it now has 48 pixel shader processors, triple that in the original Radeon X1800 series and double that of the GeForce 7800 GTX. Take note that the 48 pixel shader processors do not equate to 48 pixel shader pipelines. Both ATI and NVIDIA have approached their GPU architectures differently and they no longer equip their cores with equal number of processing units with the pixel pipeline. Read on...

Without doubt, the Radeon 550 is one of the best TV tuner cards you can get for your money. The card is priced at $94 ( about AED 350) at the time of writing this review, and we feel that it performed exceptionally well compared to other TV tuner cards in its price range. Nearly all of the Radeon 550's problems stem from the poor software implementation. Cyberlink's controlling PowerCinema screwed up much of the Radeon 550's experience by giving a lack of basic rights to the user. However, on the hardware side, the PowerColor Radeon 550 is very impressive. Its audio/video synchronization is a dream and its picture quality is excellent. All in all, we recommend this product, however, we warn you to be vary of the software...

After all the rumors and publicity, ATI's flagship Radeon X1800 XT 512MB is finally available in retail stores and we are sure that you have burning questions about the performance and price of this card. PowerColor answered our queries and hopefully yours with its version of the Radeon X1800 XT 512MB...

We've looked at a couple of PowerColor X800 GT cards and have come away with the feeling that whilst both offer something new in the marketplace, the respective asking prices takes away much of their shine. Novel, exciting products? Yes. Value-for-money? Not quite...

Our benchmarking has shown that PowerColor's X850 Pro can stand fast against a 6800GT, results swaying one way or the other depending on the graphics engine in use. Pricing of the two products is close, so deciding whether the PowerColor X850 Pro is worth the purchase must boil down to other considerations...Read on...

The X800GT is the mainstream VPU recently introduced by ATi. It is based on the same core as the more expensive X850XT, a.k.a. R480, but with half of the pixel pipelines disabled. We speculate that ATi is simply binning the R480 line and using the "faulty" ones for the X800GT line. The targeted retail price should be pretty close to Nvidia's 6600GT, however, X800GT will come with 256MB GDDR as standard. Let us see if ATi can create another R9800Pro, where the VPU offers an unbeatable performance and price ratio at that time...
