Recent Video Card supporting Component Video Out?

[nipsmg]

I'm planning on replacing the old TV in my cabinet with a newer model that has component in.  (i'm using S-Video in currently, and it's ugly and blurry, not a huge fan).
I'd like to find a somewhat recent video card that supports 480p component out, but have been having some trouble lately.

Anyone know of any I can look at?

Thanks.

I don't know of any new cards, but your current card most likely supports component with an adapter pigtail.
I've never seen component-out on a video card done any other way.

Right, and for old Radeon cards there was a DVI-Component dongle as well.

The problem is, I haven't seen this on RECENT cards, and I'm just wondering if there's any somewhat recent cards that support component out through a dongle or whatever.

Have you looked at this adapter?

Have you actually tried this? I am interested to hear (see really) the results.

Sorry, no such luck.  There are 57 reviews on Amazon, though.

Yeah, I started looking at a couple of them, and the HDMI - Component adapters (that actually seem to work) seem to go for $70-$90.

However, I've seen VGA-Component adapters with 5 star reviews go for $40 ish, and I'm sure i can find a recent graphics card with VGA + DVI + HDMI out, so that may be how I have to do it.

I believe all newer gpus will require an external VGA,hdmi,etc convert or box to use component out. I had the same dilemma and this was the info I found out. Issue is that everything is digital these days, so I believe the current video cards lack on board digital to analog convertors. The dongles  you pictured/mentioned will only work on older video cards that had a native TV out hookup. Which looks like an s-video plug minus a few pins, which is an analog source' , so then you can use a single to adapt to svideo, component, composite. So in conclusion, new video card= using an external digital to analog box, older card w/TV out= single. Hope this helps, and saves you some headache of buying something that doesn't work. I'm currently using an all in wonder at I x1800xl, runs all my name cab games fine. There are x1900xt all in wonders floating around on eBay that would run most name cab, emu stuff for cheap.
