Gfxcard HDMI audio thru-put

[Rastalovich]

I recall seeing some sneak pics of either 8400/8500/or the newer 8800, with a 2 pin connector right by the sli edge connector, and a statement saying "audio throughput for full hdmi...."

I see the pics of the 8800gt, and where the proposed 2 pin hood would alledgedly go is either nothing or a white outline, and 2 soldered over points.

What`s going on with this ? AAnnd, where can I find atleast an 8400 that will do this ? (for a media only machine)

I`ve seen an Abit mobo do the pass through, which is nice.

Tracked some down, seems MSI are the sources for these. Getting a cheapo 8400/8500 ~$60/$100 and a cable runs off to u`r audio to give u full hdmi to u`r tv
