ok i have a geforce 6600 video card doesnt have tv out, and i want to hook my computer to my tv. could i buy another video card and add it to my computer leaving the geforce in too? or would that not work? let me know asap thanks
I'm surprised that your 6600 doesn't have s-video outputs on it. Uhm, as far as adding another card and keeping the 6600, no, you can't do that. What interface is your card? (PCI-express x16 or APG) How much are you looking for spend? You could upgrade to a 6600GT (with s-video output) for us$99 (PCIe-x16) or us$125 (AGP 4x-8x). If you want to keep with the 6600 specs, you could get a PCIe-x16 for us$55 or AGP 4x-8x for us$85. I would suggest going to newegg.com and reading some reviews to help you out.
my 6600 is pci express i dont really wanna get a new one but i already bought the s-video to rca cable to hook it up to my tv any other suggestions?
btw my current card has a hdtv port on the back but i have no clue how to use that or anything about it
I take it the HDTV port you speak of is a DVI port. The options depend on your televisions inputs. If you only have RCA in's, then you would have to use the S-video -=> RCA adapter you mentioned. If your tv has DVI or HDMI inputs, you may then use a DVI -=> DVI/HDMI. Sorry, but there aren't many things that can be done. There are your only real options: Dsub 15 -=> Dsub 15 (analog RGB) S-video -=> S-video or RCA (composite) DVI -=> DVI or HDMI
