Hi guys I am new to the site and have a couple questions on this area. First let me say sorry if this is the wrong thread...I looked but didn't see anything else that fit the section I am asking about.
I have an xfx 9600gt video card(currently not on my comp) but I would like to install it and at this time I don't have a monitor that supports dvi. I do have an old 27 inch sharp tv that I am no longer using . I would like to connect my 9600 to this tv. The tv is not HD it's a 480p one and it has component hookups on the back and svideo(4pin) and also a TV antenna connection.
My question is what would be the best route to achieve this:
dvi to component?
tv out from card(7pin) to component?
I found a converter that came with my ati card I have and it seems to convert 7 pin to video(female yellow) and then I tried connecting that to my tv with no luck.
any help is greatly appreciated
thanks,
Jayson
and I don't know if this matters but I am currently running vista I may switch to 7 in the near future
