Time to go back to NVIDIA video cards?

Hello.

In the past, I was a NVIDIA video card user up to 8800 GT (PCIe). However, I stopped using their video cards because they dropped the fullscreen TV overlays for CRT TVs (I use S-video+composite cables and adapter connected to Toshiba W-627 VCR to a January 1996 19.5" Sharp CRT TV). My current four years old ATI Radeon 4870 video card (512 MB; PCIe) is having issues with computer games and videos with crashes.

Does NVIDIA still block fullscreen overlay on CRT TVs in updated Windows XP Pro. SP3 and up?

Thank you in advance.
