Looking for a video card that will support 480i via DVI. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks

I'm pretty sure all do (my Radeon 1300 does), but why would you want to?

You can forget about this. Interlaced output doesn't work correctly with any of the graphics cards. Even if they output interlaced, you're not getting the correct interlaced fields of the source video sent. The only way to get good image quality out of an HTPC is to use progressive output, unfortunately...

DVI or HDMI. Giving this another try now that some time has passed. I'd like to get a non hdcp DVI 480i digital signal to my VP50 to do the upscaling to 1080p to feed my CRT projector. Thanks

Actually Alan, I think the fact that time has past would work against you on this one rather than in your favor. The market is most definately moving away from anything like what you're trying to accomplish-

I know that everybody suggests "search" - but there have been a couple of threads on this type of thing in the past few months. IIRC, the consensus was that you'd have to jump through so many hoops to try and create a 480i signal on the pc that any possible gains by using your external scaler would be lost.

I'd at least go for 480p.

Alan;


Your VP50 has PREP, so you do not need necessarily an 'i' signal.
