I have a PNY 7900GS that I've been running with no problem, my only issue is that it seems the S-Video port is different than any S-Video cable I've ever seen. Instead of the solid line-like gap that is there, there is two pins. Now every S-Video cable I've ever seen has a solid plastic peice here and no pins.

Is there a design defect with my 7900 is is this just a silly reason to use the provided dongle...which also has an S-Video port on it.

I hope it's not the dongle answer because I misplaced mine, and the chances of finding one for my card are probably slim, unless all the N-Video cards are like this?


But newegg and other websites it doesnt show the pins, but the line hole.......

Anyway any help or advice would be awesome.

Some s-video ports you can plug in an s-video cable as well as a dongle for RCA/Composite (the round one, whichever that is). My Dell laptop has this, at first I didn't even know it was an s-video port because of the extra pins. It's pretty nifty because you don't need the dongle for s-video, just if you want RCA/Composite.
