Hi.

Which graphics card for the new harpertown Mac Pro is compatible with Apple's DVI->RCA convertor ?



The link obviously lists the ATI X1900 XT, but this is not available for the new Mac Pro.



Id there any way to use a projection big screen TV (RCA inputs) with the new Mac Pro Harpertown ?

Especially with the NVIDIA GeForce 8800GT ?

Or is saving some $$ for a 720p large LCD my only real cheap big screen option ?

Thanks for any answers/suggestions.

    Honestly, no one here knows this ?

    I doubt that very highly.

    Please help a newbie out.

    Thank you.

    I'd imagine any would be, since it's pulling the analog signal from the port, and all of the cards apple uses can export that. If you want a first hand test on a GF8800 I can report back in a few days :;shrugs::

    Thank you!

    It is actually what has been delaying my purchase!



    Want to use it w/ big screen, and don't want to buy a new 46" LCD.

    Willing to suffer the 15.625 Khz noise for now.



    8800GT is the one I was hoping to get.

    Thanks again.

    I'd like to place an order today for a new Mac Pro w/ 8800GT + new32GB iPhone. I'm curious to know if I can use the MacPro with a RCA video connection convertor?
