Do the older DVI-I M to Component adapters work with newer ATI cards? I posted a thread in the ATi forum about the DVI-I to Component cables, and I was told it will work with newer cards. However, what about this adaptor?

Will it work with the new 5000 series cards? Common sense says no, but I saw a review on Newegg when they where still for sale, that it worked with this guy's Radeon X1250, and it's not a supported card, but I doubt DVI-I connectors have changed much since. I don't currently use component video, however, I have a project idea that may warrant the use of said adapter and new video card.

I'm guessing you read this already, but this was on the item listing page.

"Note: This adapter will only work with the following ATI Video Cards. Compatible video cards include: ATI ALL-IN-WONDER RADEON 8500, 8500DV, RADEON 9500, 9550, 9600, 9700 & 9800 series of video cards."

I would hold this to be true. The old ALL-IN-WONDERs came with a specialized adapter that could plug into other cards, but didn't necessarily work.

I saw it also. But, I saw a sapphire branded one on Newegg, and this one review said it worked fine with a X1250...

But when I get paid next time on the 15th, I'll buy one on a whim.

Hell, why not? It's $10. Make sure to post your results!

Not quite pay day yet, but I bought the adapter.
