I have an NVIDIA EVGA GTX 260 card. It has an SPDIF connector on it and my mobo has a SPDIF out. The GPU only has DVI outs, though, and an SVIDEO. It came with a DVI to HDMI adapter. I assume (perhaps wrongly) that there must be some way of getting audio through that HDMI cable, otherwise why the heck have an SPDIF connector on the GPU?
It's mostly just an inconvenience at this point, since I can always just use the headphone port to get audio. My computer also has a digital out that looks like an RCA port, though I'm not sure what to do with that.
I've been in connector hell this gen for sure. My monitor only has HDMI and VGA inputs...My GPU only DVI...Just can't get a break with this junk.
My brother has said he might soon upgrade his GPU and give me his old one, which he thinks is much better than mine. I don't know what the specs are yet, but hopefully it has HDMI outs.
