Why do you need S-Video? Do you mean HDMI?

And no that card will not work, its an AGP card, you need PCIe. I don't know of any PCIe video cards with S-video.


If you REALLY need s-video, again why, you probably do better to get a newwer card like a 6450 and get a video convertor.

Something like a used 8600gt for example would have s-video most likely and be faster by far over hd2000,or new out of box a newegg evga 6200le pci 2.1 card,but hd2000 in gaming and nearly everything would be about 2.5-3x faster......

Had a 6200le hooked up via s-video,worked rather well with a old t.v but as far as recent generation cards good luck with s-video.

That's the first question why s video? before we go any farther 😀

VGA is easily converted to s-video.
