TV-Out cables for my GF3......which ones to get??

I picked up a Gainward GF3 with DVI-TV-Out, minus the cables. I would like to hook my comp up to my TV but need to know what cables to buy.
Can I go down to RadioShack and pick up a set of RCA cables, or what exactly do I need?

Thanks
😀
 
I'm guessing it has a s-video out like most other tv-out video cards. Does it have a PS2 looking port in the back? If so, that's s-video so just grab a nice set of shielded s-video cables at Radio Shack or any other consumer electronic store.
 
Of course, if your TV doesn't have S-video inputs, you'll also need a converter...

Or while you're @ Radio Shack pick up a RCA telvison, all their newest models have S-Video Input right on the back.
 
Most cards with T.V. video out have both composite and S-Video outputs. Definately use S-Video for the best picture if you can.

But I have to disagree with buying just about anything from Radio Shack. The sell overpriced junk for the most part. ex.; I saw a 3 foot toslink (fiber optic) digital audio cable there selling for $29.99. I did a search on pricewatch and found a 6 foot cable for about $7.00.
