Running a TV tuner with a GPU

Dec 27th, 2007

I was wondering if it would be posible to get a PCI TV tuner and install it while using a regular GPU?
Would it mess anything up? (BTW I have a 7800GT so switching to an ATi AIW isn't going to happen)

If I understand your question properly, yeah that should work fine, as long as you have an open PCI slot for it.

I have a Pinnacle PCTV DVB-T PCI running with my 7600GT (AGP version) and I've had no problems. Is that what you mean by a 'regular GPU'?
