In Reply to: What Video card to use for both TV out and PC Monitor (more)? posted by Bart on 15, 2000 at 2:11 AM:
: I would like to use my main system for both Emulation and the current crop of 3D games. Are there any state-of-the-art 3D Accellerator cards that will display the TV out in DOS mode? If not, are there any "pass-through" cards available that can be used in conjunction with the 3D card to output to the TV? If not, I am open to using an external adaptor to accomplish this.
The only good choice is the ATI cards. I have tried TNT cards, Voodo cards, and today spent quite a bit of time wrestling with the G400, and the ATI has by far the best TV out of any of them. Go for the Rage Fury Pro 32 meg, or if you can't find one of those get a Rage Fury 32 meg. The G400 could work, but it was way more of a hassle to get set up, and the TV out on this card stopped working in MAME before Genom & I could get the TV calibrated to it properly. The other cards have serious problems with TV out in DOS mode so don't even bother.
