[QUOTE="Roberdin, post: 101563, member: 17517"] What connectors are you using to connect to the TV? What precisely is not optimal about your TV picture? I used to have terrible problems with ground loops (well I think it was a loop, it seemed to cure itself whenever I made certain electrical connections between my TV and PC. It was often characterised by bands of lines superimposed over the picture and gradually moving downwards or upwards), and no better graphics card would cure that. I presume, therefore, what you're looking for is a card that supports a better quality output than being able to render images in a faster time? The highest quality output will be HDMI, but these are rare and your TV probably doesn't support it unless it is a HD set. Also, cards that do claim to support this are frequently lying and actually don't at all. DVI is great, but your TV is even less likely to support that unless it doubles as a PC monitor. Any analogue connections tend to be fairly poor, in my experience, although I've heard good things about component video (YPbPr), and SCART is usually a safe bet in the entertainment world. [/QUOTE]
