Having problems using 8600GT with HDTV

[pickxx]

I have a brand new tv and computer.....why not hook the two up? Well i can't get my gpu to see that i have the tv plugged in. It will see both my 22"ers but wont see the component video breakout cable going to my tv. I can't find any help searching around so i figured one of you guys, or maybe shockingly enough gals, can help me with this.




Can i run dual monitors AND my tv from the compent breakout cable? or do i have to lose a monitor to do this?

If i can do it........HOW?


Thanx ya'll.

Your card will only recognize the DVI outputs. Component cables only work as an out system on a vid card. The card has no way of telling what’s on the other end. What is the model number of your TV?

i just figured out by digging for anothewr 2.5 hrs that it wont work. the card will only see 2 outs.....no matter what.
So the component cable for my card is for people with single monitors......


I need a 2nd card to run the TV with my dual monitors.


My tv is a HL-S6187W 61" Samsung DLP.

It shouldn't be too hard to find an old PCI card to do the trick.

Sadly, i have no PCI slots to spare.....

And since i need the card to be HDCP, i am just going to get another 8600GT.....


What's the point of getting a card to go to my tv, if i can't playback HDCP content? It sucks that i have to spend more money eventually....but i'll save and get there.
