Hmmm. This is interesting.

"phazed 10/28/2010 7:31:42 PM Sub-par s-video output

Cons: The s-video output is just awful (flicker and overall quality)
and the card seems a little over-priced. nVidia's drivers also
don't have much in the way of support for tweaking s-video output.

Other Thoughts: I built a small HTPC for the guest bedroom which has an
old 26" Sony CRT TV. The lower end ATI cards (I have a
2400pro and a 4350 with svideo) put out a nearly flicker-free,
high quality and very adjustable picture. However, they are
pretty bad at any gaming and AFAIK, no video decoders take
special advantage of ATI's hardware... so I found one of
the very few nVidia cards out that's also fanless but has
CUDA for CoreCodec acceleration.

I know svideo is obsolete, but if nvidia is going to support
it (even if only on low end cards) then it should be better
prepared to eliminate the flicker that is inherent to that
type of output... as well as being able to manage screen size
and positioning (overscan, etc.). It has very limited ability
to do this and the acceleration advantage from CUDA assisted
decoding just isn't worth the inferior picture.

The other outputs on the card work fine, but I bought it
specifically for svideo out."

Looks like an "uphill road ahead" :-(
