    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.

    Well VIVO wouldn't support it either, so I'm not sure what you'd be trying to achieve... VGA is far more adaptable than Component.
