is there any other cards besides the x1600pro. i own a 6600gt is this a downgrade or upgrade
 
Apparently the next wave of cards will have the HDMI interface. It was just like HDCP, now there are beginning to show up.

I would just go get yourself a DVI to HDMI cable and wait for the cards that you want to have it rather than vise versa.
 
there is a dvi to hdmi cable???? does that make any sense at all??? i dont see how using an older port to a newer port makes a difference at all i mean why not keep the same thing.
 
it makes sense if your telivision doesn't have DVI. a lot of the newer LCD tvs just have HDMI and VGA.

I wouldnt be able to type to you if there wasnt. I have my 7800 GTX to my LG plasma running 720p right now.

Monster Cable has had them out for a long time. And honestly the only difference between HDMI and DVI is DVI wont carry the sound as well as image data.

And yes my PDP doesnt have a DVI port, just HDMI and VGA, and screw analog:)

HDMI can carry both audio and video... but it doesn't HAVE to carry BOTH of them... you can make it carry just audio or just video too.


If you use a DVI to HDMI you have to provide an additional sound source... most tv's with HDMI has L/R jacks right next to the HDMI jack for audio provided from a non audio HDMI source.
 
Its not like your TV has more than 2 channels built in so its not that big of a deal to have digital sound data coming through HDMI. But sure it'll simplify connections between high definition disc players to TVs. You should probably have a component audio system to compliment your HDTV anyways. But eventually somebody will make some kind of adapter that will let you feed audio from a computer into a HDMI cable.
