Is it possible to connect my old GTX 550 TI to a crt tv with no hdmi via the cards mini hdmi connector?

Hi guys,

Just upgraded my graphics card and i'm giving my old GTX 550 TI to my brother. His current pc is connected to an old crt tv via an S-video cable. The 550 does not have an S-video output. Instead it has a mini HDMI or DVI-I. Is there anyway i can connect a mini HDMI or DVI-I to a scart or S-video connector?

Thanks in advance

Tom

It is possible but its not cheap. You need a scart to VGA cable (I did a google and maplin have them in at £68) then you will need a DVI to VGA adapter (They cost about £2 maybe less). TBH for that money you can buy a cheap LCD for that. I dont know of any other way of doing it sorry. If anyone else has any ideas that cost less please post.

Hi zink,

Thanks for the answer. I think that is the only way. Would be easier and possibly cheaper to just get a new tv.

Cheers,

Tom.
