Can I hook my PS3/360 up to my 8800 GT?

Because that would rock. Any help on how to attempt this? My card came with a HDTV cable breakout cable.

Heres a pic.

i think thats only for outputting not input

- wrong forum

and no you cant

i'm just curious... why would you want to?

besides you have to put that card in a proper slot on the motherboard in your PC. You also need a CPU and other things. the card alone is pretty much useless

Ok. Obviously you know I'm not very tech savy.

What I want to do is hook up say, a PS3 or Xbox 360 into the Blue/Green/Red Inputs on the Adapter and run games in HD through the computer.

-No I do not expect my games to look better because its an 8800 GT.

-An older computer I had allowed you to play console games, it had composite inputs right on the computer.

-I would hook it up to my monitor, but alas, there are no HDTV connections.

you need to have video in on your graphics card to do thatnutcrackr

Thank you. I understand that.

You cannot do what you want.

If you were a programming mastermind then maybeGrantelicious

programming and hardware. you would have some form of uber Wozniak of the future.

best bet would be to go out and get a cheap video capture card/tuner.nutcrackr

First off, the connectors on the back of the video card are NOT HDMI, they are DVI. To hook your computer up to a HD TV you will need a DVI to HDMI adapter. Then you can run an HDMI cable from that to the HD TV. Or you can run a cable that has DVI on one end and RGB on the other to hook up to most HD TV's. HDMI cables are very spendy ( usualy 50 bucks or more just for a 6 foot cable.) but the [icture quality is superior thru HDMI.Second, there are no inputs on the 8800 cards. only outputs.Third, why the heck would someone want to do something so stupid? Hook a console up to the computer?..........LOL MrUnSavory1

You could buy a Blackmagic card

Then you can play PS3 on your PC

resize it, minimize it, I think it's neat. You can chat in skype while playing WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2009 on windowed mode.

OR go full screen, while continue to talk on Skype.

Or record the video in order to produce a video review, or take screenshots of your video.

All of this in HD. I think it's neat. If you want to publish videos or pictures of your video games, then I don't see why is this a bad idea.

it will be cool if you could use the power of your Nvidia graphic card in order to upscale the 720p image from the PS3 to 1080p and enjoy better quality

In other words, it's a very expensive TV tuner

With that money I will rather spend in a nice CPU

Awesome.

Thats the only correct answer i saw int this thread. Indeed if it has video in you can hook your console to your video card and with the correct software ( try k!tv or christvlite) you can play your console games in your pc monitor without having to disconnect your monitor from the pc to connect it to a console
