Hi guys;i'd like to get a graffics card with DVI hdm VGA and Svideo
that would fit in my Linovo think center71e 3167 that has an
Integrated Graphics Adapter (Intel HD Graphics 2000)
thanks

2.0 PCIe 2.0 x16
Integrated Graphics Adapter (Intel HD Graphics 2000)
You'll have a really quest on your hands to find a video card with s-video out. S-video used to be common, but its rare now, cards that used to come with s-video now tend to come with HDMI.
I dont know of any current nVidia card with s-video out. There some older ATI/AMD cards with sivdeo around, but I dont think they are worth the cost.

One is 'low profile', the other is a standard 'full height' card.
Thanks cascade9: i ended up by getting HD6450,with VGA,DVI,HDMI.
I hope to be able to connect the HDMI to the small HD led monitor the DVI to the big Sony tv and use the VGA output to connect a PC to TV addapter that has RCA,SVIDEO out, then connect to a RF converter then to the rest of the house.
As far as I know you cant use 3 monitors with most AMD/ATI Radeon cards _unless_ 1 of the 3 is a Display port monitor (or a active display port to XXXX adapter).
Quote:
To enable more than two displays, additional panels with native DisplayPort™ connectors, and/or DisplayPort™ compliant active adapters to convert your monitor’s native input to your cards DisplayPort™ or Mini-DisplayPort™ connector(s), are required.

AFAIK, this only applies if you want to use the Eyefinity function, I am not quite sure that this is true for normal desktop usage.

I'm not 100% sure either, I'm no expert on multimonitor setups. But I've seen enough reports of 'cant get 3 monitors working with HD 5450/6450' forum threads (etc.) that I really doubt its in any way possible without eyefinity.

Thankscascade: i should have red more on the technical side,
i think i have to send it back cause the DVI is not the same as in my sony tv,see pic my tv input.

Thanks cascade9: i also saw that,but one thing i'm cofused about is! i don't want to see the same full screen on the 3 monitors! i want to see individual screens although same pic screen, don't know if i'm making myself clear.
my motherboard if fully compatible with the ATI HD6450 card.
The TV has a DVI-D (digital, dual link) and the video card has DVI-I (digital + analog, dual link).
As long as you get a DVI-D cable it should work.
HD6450 has a max TDP ('thermal design power', but its also the max power draw in most cases) of less than 20 watts.
But its not going to help if you want 3 monitors.....the cheap cards (nvidia and AMD) generally have 2 monitors max.
Thanks cascade9; sure appreciate you patience with me, at least if i could figure out how to get resolution on VGA out 800x600 Monitor and 1920x1080 DVI to Tv Sony, then i would get a VGA splitter adapter to got to monitor and To VGA to TV.I saw someone suggest to get other Desktop cause Unity it's not very good for extended monitors and doesn't cut it, when comes to change resolutions with different monitors except mirror, at least the way is set up it only accept mirror monitors, maybe it has to do with Intel card HD2000 or the desktop or even the OPS, when my Ati6450 card arrives I'll check if it does the extended desktop.
