This looks more like a dedicated video player card than a good general
purpose graphics solution. Not that it wouldn't be nice to support it
as an option, of course.

Obvious question: How well will this work with MythGame? Can I play
things like Tux Racer with reasonable performance?
I dont think this is such a obvious Question. Because this not meant to
replace the vga card it sits just next to it. You can always swith to your
vga output to play game etc.

Yes it is and that is exactly the strengths of this solution. If tried
several projects: Tvedia www.8dim.com with xcard, VDR with Technotrend
premium Card's video output, And MythTV with TV out on Nvidia VGA card.
Currently in terms of video quality MythTV get blows away by the other
projects. A dedicated Video output combined with a hardware video decoder is
what's missing in MythTV. (yes I know I can buy a PVR 350 but this solution
is not very future proof, not HDTV capable)
