I just completed a frontend only set-up, and I used a nvidia (actually a 
MSI) I got from Newegg a few months ago for $10.00 after rebate (it was 
a black Friday special).. I was surprised when I plugged in the hdmi 
cable and it just worked..I did have to go into the nvidia setup and 
adjust for over scan,but the sound was just fine.... I would say go for 
it...
