I found some AIW7500 tv screenshots, but so far havnt found any 8500dv tv screenshots. Does anyone have some url's with screenshots of the tv output of the 8500dv. Man, its hard to choose between these 2 cards. Hard not to go with the 7500 for 200 less though.

If you are looking for the same screan shots, then you have already found them. With the exception of the processor, the firewire and the maybe the digital tuner, both cards use the same DACs, and the same hardware in ending signals out to a TV. The only reason for getting the 8500 is if you want to play games like Aquanox at higher resulutions, and if you want to incorporate the firewire ports. Other than that, they are very simular cards.

If it works for you then don't fix it.

Got some. This is from an article that was released in Novenber before the card was comercially available. I don't know if new drivers have increased the performance.
