I've just ordered a 7900 GTX extreme, and I noticed that it has, in addition to 2 monitor connections, an HDTV connection instead of an S-Video connection. I'm just wondering if it was a bad idea to order it, since I do not have an HDTV connection on my TV.
 Does anyone here know if I can connect it via S-video? Thanks in advance. |

Are you planning on upgrading soon? Do you do tons of gaming? Just wondering why you got such a nice card for an analog TV. I use a $20 ATI 9000 Pro to connect to my analog TVs, since that's about as good as the PQ will get. |

Uh. what do you mean "HDTV connection?" There really isn't such a thing. You can connect to HD by Component, DVI or HDMI cables/interfaces. |

Thanks for the help. I've since done more reading and found that I will in fact be able to use an S-video cable.
I like to use my computer for gaming, but also watching movies on the television on occassion. These are the connections I was talking about:
