My 8600GT only has 2 DVI-I ports, no svideo/component output

What you describe and if it's what I'm thinking about (the
composite/component adapter that comes with the card) isn't a svideo
converter.

Just that the 5200 use a svideo connector to output all the various
analog connection and you use the provided adapter to get
composite/svhs or component video.

This is not the type of cable you can plug to any svhs connector and
expect to get the proper output, it only work with the card using
those specific connector: typically the same video card
