Nvidia GeForce 6800 & component out?

I'm strongly considering upgrading from my current ATI 9600 (using dongle for component output) to Gigabyte Nvidia GeForce 6800 (the fast silent guy). However, I haven't been able to determine how or if it can do component output to HDTV. I'd be using either 480p or 1080i (my Tosh doesn't support 720p)
Called Gigabyte tech support, asked my question, was put on hold and 14 minutes later the line went dead! Called back and tried the sales option instead of tech support but they're out 'till after NY.

Stanger, you out there!

the 6800's can't do component just the 6600's and with that tosh you would be hard pressed to do dvi too.

i'd look at the 6600's if i were you. they are great cards...when they work!!!!

and 6200s
the component AKA HDTV encoder upt to 1080i
is for all new released cards following the 6800 series which was the last card to use the TV encoder (svideo)
