Hi there i want to connect my tv to my graphics card so i can play games on my tv. The problem is that i dont know what cable to buy or even if it's possible because the tv is so old. Heres a pic i took of the connection:

And here is a pic showing the connection on the graphics card:

I would like to know if it's possible for this to work and the cheapest method.


Thanks

looks like a SCART connector. Buy yourself a SCART to SVideo converter and you'll be good to go. My 8800 gts 512 has Svid out I'm sure yours does too.

EDIT: you most likely will not enjoy playing games through that old analog TV though your resolution will be VERY limited IIRC 800x600 max which sux hard and it will be quite burry.
