What video card should i have in my Dell 530, Q6600 to be able to watch on tv ?

It needs to be a HDMI card to go with my 46" HDTV|||Any video card with an HDMI connector will do the trick. Sticking with nVidia (the stock card in that Dell was a 8300 GS) will minimize configuration issues.



I'd suggest one of the following

$27 GeForce 8400 GS (basic HD video watching) http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductLis…

$60 GeForce GT 220 (can handle some 3D gaming) http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductLis…

$90 GeForce GT 240 (GDDR5 version, can handle most games)

Other video cards are of course available, however, the higher powered ones will require you to replace your power supply also.



Don't forget to get an HDMI cable - none of the cards come with one.
