[QUOTE="sinin, post: 486459, member: 84133"] The guide was one of my concerns! It seem to suggest that 24fps is only "supported" on the Radeon cards, yet the Nvida cards are "excellent". Hmm, the more you digg, the deeper you realise the pit is!!! No matter what card you go for, it looks as though neither sound or audio can be passed in full resolution! Current version of windows only support a maximum of 24bit colour depth, so deep colour is not supported. It looks as though Windows 7 will support colour depths of 30 and 48bits, but typically not 36bits which is the highest colour depth of my Pioneer. In addition, although the Radeon cards support multi-channel LPCM pass through via HDMI, the sound is actually downsampled on protected mediums. From what I understand then, Blu-ray and HD Audio disk will not be passed in true high resolution but rather a maximum "48 kHz and no more than 16 bits". Apparently there are stand alone audio cards that can transport True HD audio, but it means that audio benefits of the Radeon cards seems not apparent. I haven't come across anything on 24fps Radeon support, but the above took my interest..... [/QUOTE]
