Does this card support HDMI in real time?

Does anyone know if this Intensity card supports HDMI input in real time? I'd like to use it with the Playstation 3 on my comp, but of course if the video was delayed even by a second or two it wouldn't be a viable option...

You could get an HDMI->DVI adapter (cheap since the signaling is the same and the connector is the only difference) and then a DVI switch. All that is a ton cheaper than 250 bucks. Why do you want PS3 on your computer, you planning on screen capturing? Or do you really just want it on your computer's monitor, in which case a DVI switch and a HDMI->DVI cord is a ton easier to deal with.

^ Yeah do what he says - just buy a DVI to HDMI cable. You can find them for ~$20 and the picture quality is the same (HDMI uses the same interface for video as DVI, it just also carries sound as well).

Well frankly I don't have a TV and haven't had one in several years. I don't watch TV, and if I bought one I still wouldn't.

I would have to spend at least $250 on a nice TV which seems like a waste to me when I can get this and use it on my nice LCD computer monitor.

I use an S-video input card on my current PS2. I suppose I could use the same for my PS3 if need be, but HDMI sounds very nice from what I have read. I figure if I am spending $600 for the system I might as well get the best image quality for my money.

I thought about this, but wouldn't I lose the sound with such a conversion?
