Your original post makes it sounds like you need the card simply for its TV tuning capability. If that's the case, just get yourself a TV tuner add-in card. Otherwise I'd agree with the others that say "wait and see".

FWIW, I've owned both the 7500 AIW (sold to friend) and 8500 AIW DV (running in A7M266D). I couldn't tell ya the last time I played a "current" game, so each has done very well in my book. I also run a 15" NEC LCD panel, so nothing over 1024X768 matters. I'm confident the 8500 would handle any game at that resolution and 32 bpp with no problem.
