I recently hooked up my 560ti to my AVR by way of HDMI to get proper 5.1 in games (works perfectly on Dolby Digital gmes). I also have my 24" monitor hooked by way of DVI, and just relaized that Adaptive power clocks are now history. I would eliminate the DVI, but my reciever seems to only support 1080p and my monitor is 1920*1200.
So I am wondering if I get a cheapo nVidia card, could I run it non-SLI and hook up the monitor to it, then get my Adaptive clocks back on the 560ti with HDMI on it. Or would a HDMI splitter of some sort work?
I have read online that GPU2 will retain the performance clocks while allowing GPU1 to adapt-clock normally.
So any suggestions? GPU idling in the low 50s is crazy.
EDIT: Now Media Center is giving some error when I try to watch TV, Some video files not installed or something.
