I have search far and wide for a means to connect my geforce 6800 GT OC to my hdtv. I have component input on it, however this card does have hdtv out. I have been trying to locate a DVI to component adapter, as I'm sure this is the only way I'm going to get a true hd signal still. Are there any other ways, or anywhere else to find this adapter. There is one on the ATI site for $50, and one at a place called monoprice.com, however both say this supports ati cards. I would think this would be generic for any DVI-I output. Is this true? Are there any other ways to do what I want?
