I want to make by XBMC box in my living room a viable gaming machine. However, it seems like only the lower end cards like the nVidia 640 support HD Audio. I remember trying a higher end card like the 670 but I couldn't get TrueHD or DTS-HD. Is it only those lower end cards that support HD audio? I have a 3D TV so gaming on it would be pretty fun.
Server: Synology Diskstation 1511+ with 8x WD Red NAS 3TB drives, DSM 5.2
Main HTPC: Home Built i3, 8GB RAM, Corsair 128GB SSD, nVidia 630GTX, Harmony Home Control, Pioneer VSX-53, Panasonic VT30 65" 3D TV, Windows 10, Isengard
Bedroom HTPC: Zotac-ID 41 8GB RAM, 128GB SSD, Rii micro keyboard remote, Samsung HW-E550, Sony 32" Google TV, OpenElec 6.0 beta 4
