question about vivo

[hashv2f16]

Hey I'm getting a 7800GT and wondering if its really worth getting one with VIVO. What EXACTLY is vivo and what will I be able to achieve with it?

cheers

Don't all 7800's have VIVO?

VIVO is Video In Video Out

Many cards these days have a video out or "tv" out so you can watch video from your computer on your tv. Video in is a little more rare. Video in allows you to use you computer and monitor as a tv and digital vcr.
