Yes, including overscan. But I don't like the control center for tvout
(havent tried the latest though), I like the old control panel, you can get
the latest drivers with that. And as for sapphire, they launched a crippled
128 bit bus width model, make sure you get a 256bit bus (128mb ram is ok).
And the tvout from ATI is very nice.
cheers,
Mike
