[QUOTE="thinksnow, post: 54356, member: 11265"] I'm looking to upgrade my HTPC2 and move it into the bedroom where the Sony 50A10 is and I want to make sure I can utilze the HDTV aspect of the thing, so...I need a new card. Having searched the forum and [url=http://www.nvidia.com/page/purevideo_support.html]poked around a bit[/url], I've decided on a GF 6200 (I was going to get a 6600, but it's $50 more expensive and I don't see the upside for a non-gaming machine). My question, though, is whether [i]all[/i] 6200's are HDTV capable, or just the ones that advertise it? For instance, the [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16814130008]eVGA 6200[/url] is $39 ($25 A/R) but does not claim HDTV. The [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16814125217]Gigabyte 6200[/url], on the other hand does list "HDTV/S-Video Out" but is $56 ($46 A/R). Is the difference in cost simply because of the DVI-HDTV breakout cable, because if so, I don't care as I have a DVI-HDMI cable I scored off [url=http://www.monoprice.com/products/department.asp?c_id=102]Monoprice[/url] for a few bucks.
