Which settings should I use for the TV Out function of my 3dfx TV Out card?? Which resolution? How much Hz?
I get a signal on my TV but its terrible! If I change my resolution, it becomes a little better. Thats all. What should I do?
640 x 480 should be best for tv out, isn't it?

Pleeze, help me!

I know what you're talking about with the V3, and I just found it's not worth it. TV's have a limited resolution and refresh rate which you don't have control over. It's been a long time since I tried using the video under 2k, so I can't say I remember too well. Check your cables before you try anything else. It works, but it just doesn't seem to be worth all the trouble to get TV-out. I personally haven't seen the quality for other cards with TV-out, so I can't say anything really. I have heard that TV-out isn't what it's cracked up to be, and I won't argue.
My advice is this: if you have to have TV-out, look at reviews of cards with TV-out. Anandtech did a comparison between Matrox, Nvidia, and ATI a while ago if you're interested.
If TV-out isn't something you just have to have, just skip it.
