Video Card That Has Simultanous TV/Monitor Out?

[Hideous_Hog]

A friend of mine wants to hook the computer to the TV (Composite Video preferrably) so that others can watch gameplaying (Warcraft 3).

The question is: Is there a video card that provides a signal simultanously to both a monitor and a TV? We have quite a few Warcraft 3 players, and are having in-house tourney's with 2 computers that are networked. The TV would be for the spectators...

The video card would need to be a decent 3D card, like GE Force 2 or better.

TIA

My original Radeon AIW can do that.

Any card with TV out will do that but you have to set your res down to 800 x 600 usually.

not any card will do that, but I know that all of the gf4 ti's will do it. you can get a ti4200 for under $150, that should do the job.

A regular card with a TV out wont display on both at the same time. You have to get a Twin Display card. A lot of Geforces come like that and the Radeon all in wonders. If you try to output to your TV witha regular video card the doesnt have twin view your monitor will go blank.

I don't know about that. I have a PCI Radeon SDR...not a VE...and it has no twin display abilities at all, but it will send the same signal to the monitor and the TV at the same time. I think just about any video card with TV out will do the trick if set to a low res.

im positive that not any card could do it... my savage3d couldnt do it, my tnt coudlnt do it, my tnt2 couldnt do it, my gf2 gts couldnt do it, but my gf4 ti4200 can

I dont wanna sound like an nvidia or gf4 fanboy, I know there are many other cards that will do dual display, I just am more familiar with cards I have personally used. I know radeons can, but I dont know if you have to have the AIW or not
