I want to port my monitor to a large Screen TV to work with clients.
I have a quadro fx card running my monitor and a GTX580 running Octane.
The Quadro Card does NOT have an HDMI out.
Is there a way I can use the HDMI output on the GTX580 if it is not powering the monitor?
Or will I have to buy a new Graphics Card with HDMI Output to replace the Quadro?
Thanks!

When you connect the GTX580 with the tv, the tv should come as output device in the nvidia system settings.
You can also use your tv as monitor.

You can also buy HDMI to dvi adaptors/cables I think.

Thanks Guys!
I'll try using the GTX's hdmi out first.
If I can't get it configured to output it looks like there are cheap DVI to HDMI converters I can try. Didn't even think of that.
