I am upgrading from a GeForce2 GTS. I've been eyeing the 8500 for awhile now. Now that I read the gamma is fixed, I may take the costly plunge.
I use PowerStrip to modify the signal to go directly to RGBHV into the back of my Mitsubishi (2nd Gen.) My questions:
1) Will the TV Tuner (and therefore the PVR) capabilities go out the VGA port or do I have to do some (more) rube-goldberg type rigging into alternate inputs?
2) I read something about an integrated Program Guide? My opinion is that these are generally worthless -- what is the source?
3) Much has been made of how the Nvidia line is better than ATI at gaming. The rig will be used for gaming on occasion -- can someone tell me if it will be at least as good as the GeForce2 GTS was? Is there a huge difference between the gaming capabilities of, say, GeForce4?
Thanks in advance for any info.
