<p>For TV Out I use an ASUS NVIDIA 9400M for VDPAU , it has SVGA, HDMI, component, S-VHS and composite (need differnent cables to get the last 3). Currently it is driving an old (15+ years) TV at 1024 x 768, while sourcing HD Freeview. The CPUs barely goes over 10% as the GPU is doing all the work.
