Best graphics card with S-Video (pref nVidia)

On the NV side, at least for EVGA, it would be high-end 200 series, 9 series and below. Low-end 200 series came after the high-end and was the introduction of HDMI and onboard audio on NV reference designs for non-dual GPU cards.
 
Would you mind using a VGA to S video adapter? There seems to be one in the jungle for a few pounds. If so then you could get any card you want, although higher end cards will need a DVI to VGA adapter first before you can use the s video adapter.

ye, i think that'd work! would be modern cards be able to "tv-out" to DVI?

It should do. Cards can connect to TVs just fine with VGA, DVI or HDMI, this this sounds a tad more complex. You might also need to change the resolution to 640x480. The thing is, I don't know how to get audio through it. This sounds quite tricky...

On another note, I remember my old Sapphire 4870 512mb having a native S-Video port. Maybe you should consider looking at these?
 
Audio's not a problem, it'll just come out of my speakers.

The only thing with going to a GTX260/80 or a Radeon 4xxx series is that they aren't DX11 and just feel that it would be a worthwhile upgrade to make sure my new card has that as standard. My 8800gt that i currently have has a S-Video port, but my motherboard only has one PCI-E slot and i want to play BF3 looking swanky when it comes out so need the new card really :)

Then it looks like we'll have to try the GPU -> DVI to VGA adapter -> VGA to S-Video adapter method. What's your budget on the card? The 570 will make a good choice if you can afford it.
