AGP card to output HDMI signal

**Bisujaksha** · 16-05-2009

I had purchased a new AGP graphic card from the market few days back. I must say the graphic card is excellent as I play lots of games in my PC. hence I was wondering to use my computer as a media center so that I can connect it to my TV to get full HDMI output signal along with audio in my TV.
I need your suggestions regarding same......
thanks

Good idea....but before connecting PC to your TV for viewing 1080p high definition and Blu-ray discs, first download BD Advisor. With BD Advisor, you can experience the true power of interactive high-definition movies with PowerDVD and Blu-ray Discs. Also, this tool ensures that you enjoy the best Blu-ray Disc experience possible by testing your system and understanding the basics as to what this exciting disc format has to offer.

I am using HIS 2600XT graphic card that comes with a DVI to HDMI dongle. but unfortunately, it didn't play nice with my system. So now I am thinking to buy a HIS 3850XT. I would suggest you check whether your graphic card supports the HDMI output well on your television.

Which model did you buy and from where? This is for my info as I also want a AGP 8X card for my old PC.

Any one of these cards are the best AGP card you're gonna get. Only thing is, make sure your PSU is up to par. You will need at least a 450 watt PSU.
