I'm not sure any of those mentioned cards support HDMI.. would have to
get a DVI converter or component breakout box/converter for component.

As far as hdtv is concerned, i don't record much of it in myth, but it
works fine on my ATI 9800 pro with suse 9.2 x64 (latest drivers) using
DVI out.

Certainly causes the machine to roar to life with cpu fans kicking in
and load shooting up, but it works :)

No experience with the mentioned nvidias
