Hi all.
I have some questions regarding playing movies on my PC to watch on my TV.
I had a matrox g400 millenium graphics card that did this and did it well, i could playback a movie on my PC and watch it on my TV while someone else checked their emails or do general web surfing on the internet.
My Pc died on me a few months ago and i had to build a new PC my new PC has inbuilt graphics the 6100, i wish to upgrade the graphics with a discrete graphics card that has S-video.
My question is how do modern graphics card handle displaying movies on the TV? my old card had Dual display clone mode which i see is what just about all graphics card has to enable dual display output. but my g400 also had DVDMax output mode which enabled me to use my monitor as my primary display and my TV just for watching movies on from the PC.
so for any previous G400 owners or anyone who knows can i watch movies on my TV with any of todays GPU card without having to use clone display on them?
Thanks
P.S my primary concern is watching movies via my PC on my TV not gaming
