<br>><br>> there's loads of nvidia 7600 cards with hdmi out (incl. sound). Actually<br>> getting hold of one is a different matter however...<br>><br>> Newegg have some. I'd recommend a 7600GTX, as when mythtv-vid develops a

<br>and pass the video untouched. New receivers will definitely start<br>having this feature which saves on having to run a separate S/PDIF<br>cable (and allows the transmission of multi-channel PCM for things<br>like HD-DVD/BluRay).
</blockquote><div><br>It depends on the company who made it. Gigabyte and MSI are the two main ones, can't remember who uses which (spdif and optical). You can always make a converter, as signal wise they're identical, just one is electrical and the other is optical.
