Has anyone got this card? Is it a good card for both gaming and watching TV on? I am looking for a card that I can watch TV on, and then play Counter-Strike Source the next minute.




Thnx, Protoss

I have one also. Remember that it's not a tuner card, you'll need some kind of external tuner like, in my case, a Directv box. Picture quality is not the best, I don't know if it's that I don't have something setup right or it's the cards fault. Still a nice card that plays games very nicely.

My advice is to buy a TV tuner and a normal video card - it's not worth the extra cost to buy a VIVO card - I did that back in the day with a GF4 Ti4200 VIVO - ended up not really using the VIVO, but using my TV tuner instead (Leadtek).

It's the same price as a card without vivo, so why not get it? The only issue I have with it is that MSI doesn't enable the temp diod. Though there is a bios mod that fixes it.

VIVO is a good thing on a video card. Why pay extra for a TV tuner if you already have a VCR (who doesn't nowadays the manufacturers virtually give them away)?

I have the faster MSI NX6600 GT VTD128 and I am very happy with it's 2d quality, game performance and video input quality! :)
