New video card

Expand Post »
Ok , im getting a GeForce FX 5200 video card and it has a s-video output. I was thinking, with this card can I hook up my tv to be used has the pc monitor? I know that the text will be blury or something like that but I want the tv to play video games on, so will this work?

BTW: (for who ever has this game) will the GeForce FX 5200(128mb) be enough for Halo:Combat evolved? and I also have a Celeron 2.20GHz processor is that enough to run Halo or will it need a pentium 4?

Re: New video card

Sorry, never played Halo. But yes - that's what you can do with S-Video output and an Nvidia card. enjoy!

Re: New video card

Incidently, it seems like it's a very powerful card ... Geforce FX with 128 mb of ram will rock. As far as 2.2 ghz, that should be plenty, although I've never had experience with Celerons.

Re: New video card

was I right about the text being blury? and that the tv will only be good for gaming?

And this has nothing to do with pc's but my tv has no s-video,but I was planning on get a rf modulator with a s-video input on it will that still work?

Re: New video card

Yeah, text will be unreadable on the TV unless it's a gigantic font. It's really only good for gaming. Does your video card only have an S-Video out connection? What about just a regular yellow-cable video out? (Usually tvs have those over S-Video, but S-Video is higher quality I think.)
