I just ordered one, so I looked it up as well. All of the companies that make them provide an 's-video out hdtv' cable like the one pictured below. Despite that it's going through s-video, from what I've found, it can display up to the maximum resolution of your tv or component enabled monitor. (generally, most hd monitors and tvs go to 1900x1080, aka 1080i or 1080p). So you can simply plug the video card into a tv and set the tv settings and you'll be good to go over component.

(note that this is the one that comes with the 8800gts from PNY, it usually looks different or the cables branch off into wires for the evga, etc ones.)

Newegg has rebate, no? Newegg has had some fluctuating prices lately, nothing made me angrier than the CPUs. I checked all of the parts I ordered lately to see if they had changed.
