2 graphics cards or an a converter for conecting my projector

[northeasternpike]

So i have a old projector that has only s video or the normal white/yellow/red conections type. I was running a 8500gt on my ecs gf8200a which has a s video output. Now i have upgraded to a gtx 560, which only had dvi x2 and mini hdmi. Now i cannot attach my projector to the computer. So i am wondering if i should install a second graphics card in non sli (attached to a pci slot) or buy a hdmi or dvi converter. If i am understanding other things i have read correctly dvi to s-video or the white/yellow/red is impossible.

i am running win 7 64 bit and have read that i can run 2 different g cards and different drivers but also have read the many opinions that advise against.

So if i could just get some input in to the best way to do this(converter or pci g card or ?), it would be appreciated greatly.

All i use the projector for is movies.

also if someone could confirm that the white/yellow/red are called composite cables that would be great.

misc info.
processor is a athlon 2 x3 445
psu rosewill 850 watt

Can't vouch for the quality of these things though, never used one. Many video converters are not too good unless they are expensive. In my work I have dealt with pro level stuff that run about $500+, not these things.

Hey hang-the-9, you are only hanging 7 or 8 right now 😀

Those adapters are going the wrong way! northeasternpike needs a DVI or HDMI to S-Video adapter.

A second card is best here, the converters would be much more expensive (you'd need a rack mount one probably which are hundreds if not thousands of dollars).

I've had better experience running 2 different brands of video cards, so an ATI to run s-video would work with your nVidia main card.
