Will this VGA card work for TV out
« on: August 24, 2005, 04:44:47 pm »
I'm looking at getting a new VGA card and don't want to spend to much money if I don't have to. Right now I am just using a TV and just want to make sure it will handle all games. What do you guys think of this card? Or is there a card you recommend?

yes, that card has an S-video output so it will work for t.v. out.  If this is going to just be used in a MAME cabinet you could probably get away with an older, cheaper card with the same or better results.  The Radeon 7500 series cards are pretty highly regarded for their t.v. out capabilities, but you might have to go to e-bay to find one.

Cool I will look for the older radeom. Right now I am running a GeForce2 and it has problems with certain resolutions. Probably eventually go to an Arcade monitor but might as well use what I have to set every thing up.

IMO the money you (might) save by getting a 7500 card off ebay is moot when compared to the nature of ebay.  Plus for a few dollars more on newegg you get a brand new one under full warranty.

$27 on new egg is definitely not bad. I'll probably just pick up a card at a Fry's electronics, the have a no questions asked return policy, so I can try before I buy.
