What Video Card?

snoopy · #1 06-21-2005, 01:16 PM

After playing with my new Hauppage with dual tuner, I am now ready to run it to my TV with a long s-video cable. Unfortunately, I did not realize that I had to do this with a separate video card instead of the Hauppage. Since the on-board video on my AMD 2600 Asus does not have a connector for it, I guess I need to find one. What video card would you guys recommend for good s-video output?

Any radeon 9000 series.

you can get the 9600XT fairly cheap these days, and its a decent card too-not as hot as the 9800's.

I should have phrased it differently. Not the best, just "enough" to handle s-video output without issues. Actually I'm kindof a cheapskate.

well, the 9600XT is about $98 on newegg
The 9550 is between $45 and up---mostly around $55
-I think several people around here use the 9550 and like the results.

Ding ding ding.

I'm not running it off the svideo though. DVI<->DVI here.

The 9550 is the first ATI I bought in years. But if you don't have a highend TV - and a FX5200 lying around, you might want to go from there.
