Phoronix.com has posted a review of the XGI Volari V3XT, a low end card designed for mini-PC and HTPC:
If we had to choose between XGI's Volari V3XT and Power Color's ATI Radeon 9250 for a general-purpose graphics card, not solely based on the performance, we would go with XGI. We feel as the Reactor driver's progress current XGI solutions will become slightly more powerful, as ATI had done with CATALYST. In addition, the core speed is slightly faster (250MHz), HDTV, overclocking ability, and other unique XGI technologies, were found in this card that the ATI 9250 couldn't offer. XGI's V3XT has found its way into one of our HTPC/ general purpose test machines, and have no regrets using the card, except for demanding 3D applications.
