I only ask this becuae ive got a Nvida 6600gt. And i want to build a
new PC and was going to get a 7800 GT. But for some reason Nvidia have
droped their componet support.

Iam going to have my new pc hooked up to my TV in my longe room. 86cm
WS HD TV :)

But the latest Nvidia drivers dont support componet no more. And thats
what i want. 720p is what iam using now to display from my 6600gt via
din to componet cable.

How would an ATI card be connected to my TV. Take in mind my TV only
has Componet and Svideo and Compiste no RGB anything.

I mean adaptor cable. Plug or whatever device ati would use to do as i
want.

I realy like the componet connection. Clear and great. I love my WS
gaming. Dont want to loose it.



Thanks.

86 cm is only 34", come back when you get something 50" or bigger. :-)

There's this thing:
http://www.ati.com/products/hdtvadapter/index.html

There are two versions of this adapter, DVI-to-component and
VGA-to-component.
 
So it's 91 cm instead of 86 cm as you originally posted, or is an Aussie
inch slightly shorter? :-)

Anyway, if you are looking to get an ATi card higher than the 9800 (and you
should), I suggest calling/emailing ATi to make sure the HDTV adapter will
work with it. The information on ATi's page might be simply old.
