Recomend me a gfx card =) =)

[ArthurRitus]

can some one recomend a TV tuner PCI card that i can also use to run a second monitor. It does not have to be a GOOD one, just using it as a second monitor that will not be running any high-demanding crap I am already going to be running two XFX 8600's in SLI.

thanks.

I want something under 100, and one that is good for the job.

AMD/ATI 2900XT - cheap, faster than an 8800GTS and performance keeps increasing with each driver release

TV tuner != Gfx card

Plus, ATI's have better video in/out support than the nVidia stuff...

^I had an All-in-wonder 8800 or something like that like 4 years ago. It was pretty decent, it ran the games I played good and the TV tuner part worked as advertised. However... I had to run an ass ton of software for it all to work, that's the only thing I REALLY hated about it

Im not worried about performance stuff, im running two 8600s for my main monitor, This other one is going to be for simple crap, maybee the most demanding would be to watch a movie VLC, Windows Media, etc.

IDK about better... certainly more.

I like the Nvidia I have, but I'm not a computer "nerd" and have no desire to be one, too much work keeping up with whats new in a world where your shits outdated before it ships from the factory. LOL

nevermind, aparently my friend is a dumb ass. The only reason i was going to get a third card, is because he claims that videocards in SLI can not run dual monitors. another friend of mine runs dual monitors on two xfx 8800's. Problem solved, now i can get any tv tuner i want. =)

I don't know which is worse, him telling you that as fact... or you believing him.

 

[ArthurRitus]

lol i didnt believe him at first, but he was like "OMG MAN IM TELLIN THE TRUTH, I WOULD BE IN SLI IF I DIDNT LOVE DUAL MONITORS SO MUCH" all this bull shit, lol
