[QUOTE="jman06, post: 562027, member: 95515"] I'm sure most of you know this by now (I searched the forums to see if anyone else posted this info, so hopefully this can help people decide now that HD audio is supported) - but just in case you don't - this is very good news for all of us HTPC owners. By itself, the videocard is definitely more than adequate for HD and Blu-ray playback at 1080p - flawlessly. But up until now, no GFX card had built in decoders for the HD audio formats - until this the ATI 5xxx series. The other ones, such as the 5870 and 5970 support it - but the cons are its two slot sizes, requires extra power connectors, and is very LONG. But now, with the 5670 - it is small, uses up to 75watts under FULL LOAD and 15-17 while Idle, supports HD audio-codecs, and IS GOING TO BE PRICED UNDER $100. This makes it a new standard for HTPC video-cards and very affordable. No more additional cards such as the ASUS to decode the HD streams......yay! Although, if you want a serious gaming-htpc - this card will do it adequately, but if you have the money (over $375) and space in your HTPC - I would get the 5870 (like me) or 5970 card. AND LASTLY - all of the card manufactures, Sapphire, Gigabyte, Powercolor, XFX, etc., have the i/o outputs built-in. There is one DVI port, one HDMI port, and one VGA port.
