nVidia driver question
My little brother wants to buy a cheap video card, and is thinking about the abit siluro gf2 mx400 w/ tv out. My question is, do the nVidia detonator drivers support the tv out feature, or will he have to use the supplied abit drivers (which haven't been updated since march)? Thanks guys.

Lady, people aren't chocolates. Do you know what they are mostly? Bastards. Bastard coated bastards with bastard filling. But I don't find them half as annoying as I find naive, bubble-headed optimists who walk around vomiting sunshine. -- Dr. Perry Cox -
I haven't updated the drivers on my wife's system lately, but since it's using one of the detonator drivers at least some of them do. Her card is a single output, but the option is in the driver applet, although the second monitor on the image is grayed (not selectable)."..so much for subtlety.."

My MX uses the 21.81Xp drivers from NVidia and it has the options for the TV-Out in it.

21.81 and 22.50 have a tv out device selection screen
However I prefer to use tvcc to enable tv-out, can do it with hot-keys, and it seem to work better for some reason.
nvidia 22.50 gives a 30% increase in 3d mark 2001 for a gefrog DDR !!Comment
