Graphic Cards DVI to Composite??

[snuggyboy]

Hi, just wanted to know if there is anyway to get a composite out (to connect to a regular tv) from DVI????
I have a 7900GT which only has two DVI outs, and no S-video or TV out.... how can i achieve this???

Seems unlikely. I doubt this can be done. I'll search around google and see if I can find anything.

Na, not happening. Unusual 7900GT though.. no TV out?

Ok I found this -

The Apple Store (U.S.) - Apple DVI to Video Adapter

Its only for macs though. No idea if it'll work with 7900gt.

You have a cable which plugs into the centre of the card, between the two dvi port, the one that looks like a ps2 keyboard connector? then you have many leads coming out of the cable that you have. out of those three look like component out or svideo. One of them has a green line on the cable. plug that into your tv. I may be wrong about the green one, in that case you just have to try the other two. one of these three is the tv out

Yup.. i found it... only that it is not in the centre of the DVI outputs, but right in the corner of the card... a little hard to find...
