Looking for an affordable, Silent GPU with HDMI (including 5.1 sound) (1 Viewer)

I am searching for an affordable, silent (maybe passive cooled) GPU.

I would like it to have HDMI and is capable of transporting 5.1 DTS over this HDMI connection. Oh, it should have Hardware acceleration.

I have quite a new system based upon the GA-MA78GM-S2H mobo, but with this system it appears to be impossible to have 5.1 DTS over the HDMI connection. So, I'm looking for a simple, not to expensive card that can handle this. It's mostly for practical reasons as I have an older Receiver that has no HDMI inputs and has only room for one digital input.

I think when looking at the ATI3200 which is already on the mobo, a Xfire enabled ATI card may be a wise option.

Have you looked at the EVGA 730i (113-YW-E115-TR)?

No I haven't yet, but this is a complete mobo right? I was aiming at an addon graphics card actually, not an entire mobo.

Gigabyte HD4550, passive cooling + hdmi and multichannel lpcm out. DTS/AC3 bitstream as well.

Thanks, I have decided on a Club3D passive cooled 4650. Hopefully this solves my sound issues with the mobo I'm having now.

Thanks for your input!
