If you notice on the article....

Date: September 19th 2005

Between those powerpoints and the Inquirer (I know...), it should have been out before the end of September. I put off buying the ATI 550 PCI-E card so I could check this bad boy out. But it seems like it just is never going to come out. If anyone has heard anything about a possible release date...please share.

Performance
- NVIDIA LSI Logic DVxplore (Dual)
- 000 MHz GPU
- 000 MHz RAMDAC


It's fast!! :p

(And yes, I quoted the eVGA site correctly. "000 MHz GPU"

Really?
I want a card bad but do not know what to buy.
My cable company is adding cardcards now so I would
love to have something with that option.

What is there to choose from on the market?

I really want to get a TV Tuner/PVR card, but I want to have a 6800 or 7800-based card. I know the 5700 is supposed to be pretty sweet, but it's AGP or PCI only...I have no AGP slot and the only PCI slot I can use is for teh X-Fi.

Sigh.

SLIed TV tuner cards would pwn.

The only reason I still have my current card is because it works for everything I use it for and the picture quality is pretty good for tv playback :cool:

The remote control is borked with their new driver for it but I like some of the new features in MMC :)

I am likely going to have to wait for a while longer before I get a new AIW style product. The 1900 series looks decent but, I don't want a turbine in my system.

Well, ya gotta wonder why nVidia hasn't released anything since the 5700? That's what? Three years ago now?

Also I like how they put ATi's offering in the least quandrant of those axes. :D

The NVTV single/dual tuners from EVGA offer pretty nice video quality, even on a larger CRT TV (27"). The only drawback is that MCE is required, and for me XPO MCE benches slower than XP Pro on the same hardware.

The OLD cards had some mixed results. Some people said it was the best quality ever...most said it was the worst. Also, there were some issues with one of the tuners flaking out on it.

What most of us are talking about in this thread is the new, and as of yet unreleased, super duper TV tuner. I doubt we will ever see it, at this rate.

Not completely true. I believe that Chris TV has supported it for a while, and I'm pretty sure Dscaler and Showshifter/Beyond TV did too.

I'm sure the experience was loads better with MCE, but it wasn't the "only way". :p

Right on! Qlitchford

Certainly, impressions were mixed Nvidia's old TV tuner cards. Nvidia's engineering not only has to deliver the "super duper card" that is reliable and competes with the Hauppage 500 and ATI TheatrePro 550 , but their marketing department is going to have distinguish the difference between the old cards and the new cards . If savy people are getting confused in this thread, I pity everyone else....
