nitroshift Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 @ripken204nVIDIA's setup is way simplier than ATI's. And he's using an ATI card. I found Catalyst a bit more tricky than Forceware, but that's probably because I live in Europe and when plugging the TV, Catalyst must be set to the appropriate TV system (PAL or SECAM) as its defaults are NTSC.

wickerwolf Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Using ATI's catalyst is usauly fairly simple just go thru the display settings and set the tv as the primary display and in clone mode then it should work fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takeshi Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 The card has S-video out and the TV has S-video in so why use RCA to S-video adaptor?The manual says turn on TV, then turn on computer.With TV out, the max. resolution is 1024x768.
