I mean... This'd output to a TV, right? What's the difference between using this and an EVO?

That only works on graphics cards which have specific support for TV out through the VESA plug. Those are very few and enormously far between.

Looks as video out cable for Matrox G4x0 dual head series. Instead of second/third display one may optionaly run s-video or composite video out from second DB 15 port on G4x0. I have G450 PCI in my 320 for dual head and dual video out :shock: .
As lewis said to make use of this adapter video/tv output needs to be supported by GFX hardware.
