4. Software Bundle

Lacking a gaming bundle, ATI includes several DVD authoring/video editing packages: Pinnacle Studio 9 (ATI edition), Matchware's Moderator 7, and Serious Magic's Visual Communicator. Using these tools you can capture, edit and convert videos for use in home DVDs and web presentations.

ATI provides the basic ATI Catalyst drivers. The Control Panel looks the same as usual, with no new controls.

If you choose, you can load Catalyst Control Center with the drivers. Catalyst Control Center requires Microsoft's .Net 1.1 be installed, and doesn't seem to offer any advantages over the traditional Control Panel, so we didn't load it for benchmarks .
