Default 6870 to old TV


How do I connnect my pc to my old TV (which has only RCA) ?
On my 6870 GPU I got 1 monitor connected to the DVI, and via Dsub -> DVI in the second DVI socket. That leaves 1 Display Port and 1 HDMI.

If it's possible, where can I get such a cable in Mumbai ?

Try to look for dsub to svideo converter. You need svideo out for sd tvs.

Yep at that time of geforce 68xxgt series and ati x8xx series all cards(almost) use to come with svideo instead of hdmi connection, even dvi was kind of new in those days as lcd slowly took over crt. Now only converters can help with dsub.
