[QUOTE="jorgen, post: 33954, member: 17949"] I'm building a new HTPC, and use the ASUS A8N-VM CSM mainboard. I was planning to use the integrated video-card, but after buying the tv-out bracket, I'm not very satisfied with the tv-out on this board. I find the picture to be too blurred. Therefore I'm looking for a decent PCIe card to do the job instead. It has to have excellent quality on the s-video output, it must be passively cooled and not cost too much (because I've already spent enough money on this project). -Any suggestions? ATI or nVidia? I'd like the card to work even when I buy a proper HDTV later. I was looking at the GeForce 6600-cards with passive cooling. -Should I get the 256MB version, or will 128MB do? I do not plan to do ANY gaming with this PC. I have heard that 6600-cards generally have good tv-out quality, and I remember some test of asus-cards where the TV-out was excellent. -But are the TV-out as good on all brands? Rr is this quality brand-spesific? I'm considering a XFX GeForce 6600 128MB Passive Cooling, which is low profile and will fit perfectly in my case: [url]http://www.xfxforce.com/web/product/listConfigurationDetails.jspa?productConfigurationId=1043[/url] -Any thoughts on this (especially on s-video picture quality), or any better suggestions? Thanks.... Jorgen [/QUOTE]
