Ah, so you are talking about at SD resolution. Most people are particularly keen on component output for HD resolutions. I actually find that the SVIDEO TV-out looks better and has fewer artifacts than playing the video at 720p coponent (upscaled) and I presumed the tv-out had some filters for the artifacts. > > couple years ago (though I hate to admit it) I burned up a an old TV messing > with modelines so I'm hesitant to do much of that with an HDTV. I also have Just about every modern HDTV I have seen handles bad modelines gracefully, but of course there are no guarantees! With lcd/dlp etc. TVs I am not sure you could damage them much anyway, they are just trying to scan convert to the native internal digital res. The modelines you would use for your component out would be identical from what I know to the ones you would use for vga -> audio authority. It is not a scan converter. I have stayed away from the high-end cards believing they would gain me nothing, would just run hotter and need a fan, and of course cost mucho dinero. Seems nuts to pay more for a video card than you do for a Tivo. Run my mythcommflag benchmark and tell us how it performs. If we find that the high end cards really do a lot better, you might see folks upgrading.
