[QUOTE="slarti, post: 646834, member: 90038"] I had my old integrated GF8300 connected to my onkyo 875 and from there through a splitter to my TV and projector. I had just minor problems like sometimes the onkyo didn't find a signal after a refreshrate change. With my clarkdale it is just horrible. The graphics "card" may stop responding, my desktop may become horribly disfigured or the whole system may just crash. I don't think it has worked once. Strangely enough, when I change the refreshrate manually, I don't have a problem. I tried an ATI 5450 for a little while but that was at least just as bad. My solution for now is to run an HDMI cable through a splitter straight to my TV and projector from my HTPC and carry the sound over S/PDIF to my receiver. I lose HD bitstreaming but this works like a charm every single time. I've been thinking about getting a new receiver but I think I'll try the HDMI detective plus (thanks for the tip kiwijunglist) since the onkyo 875 is otherwise a great receiver. (BTW: I had the onkyo 5007 for a couple of days on trial and that was horrible. Every time I switched the HDMI output on it with the HTPC as the source, the HTPC BSOD'd instantly:o So yes, I think there are problems with PCs and receivers:D) I somehow have a feeling that NVIDIA stuff just works better but you lose out on the audio side of things.
