Cheap PCI tv-out card?
« on: August 08, 2003, 03:02:37 pm »
Does anyone know of a CHEAP video card with tv-out that is PCI? I need one for my PC and another for my MAME PC im building.  It doesnt need to do anything fancy, just have TV-OUT.  The cheapest I can find is around 50 bucks, and its AGP ATI RAGE FURY.  I'm really looking for some used thing that no one wants nemore, thanks.

Me too.  Good luck.  PCI ones (for cheap) are hard to find.

Find an old used ATI card on E-bay.  I bought mine off ebay for $6, its an old 8MB deal, but works perfect for my MAME cabinet.  You don't need anything fancy.

If your using 98 this should work pretty well. TV out on these was supposed to be good. They don't like XP though...NVIDA bought 3DFX and stopped production and development of new drivers. Here:

There are hacked XP drivers here though:

not super cheap...but if you change your mind and want a new card go to pricewatch and search for pci tv...if you can manage $40 you can get an ATI Radeon 7000 which would rock for a mame machine.
