I understand the general consensus is pvr output > video card with

playing any format thrown at it?

Yes, provided the converter doesn't suck. I'm pretty sure that most of the low end ones are as bad (or worse) than the built-in vid card ones. Remember, those scanline converters go:
[D->A from VGA]->A->D->scale->temporally interpolate->A


        Lots of places for it to suck.
