thats false. it does not have any input capabilities. only the All in Wonder series cards had that functionality.

Graphics cards don't tend to have VIVO any more. A pain, but that's just how it is. Too much extra expense that hardly anybody used. I never did.
Just hook your 360 up to your PC monitor using the VGA cable you can buy for like $10.
Add to this, using something like VIVO would have added input lag that would make most game unplayable.

Plus, VIVO looked like crap.
