i want to switch my windows XBMC to openelec.
but beeing that AMD isn't fully supported i need to switch to nvidia.
No HD audio when adjust refresh rate is on-AMD APU.
so you can't even watch a Blu-Ray decent with the drops you get.
and with DVD PAL Rips it's even worse.
i'm looking for a low profile card that can bitstream HD audio over HDMI.
i prefer a card with a fan because i used to have a AMD card without fan in my HTPC case,
but because it's a small case the temp would rise to 100 C
also it shouldn't use more then 1 slot so the fan can get some airflow.
the specs should be the same or better then the AMD card is use now.
which card do you guys recommend ?
and yes i've searched the different topics here but most of the topics are like 2 years old or even older,
and most of those cards i'm not able to get here anymore.
Case : MONEUAL 320B
GPU : Sapphire HD 6570 1GB DDR3
Connected with HDMI to a Onkyo TX-SR875
and using a Gefen HDMI Detective.
Because my HTPC loses sometimes picture when it comes out of standby,
Or if I switch source on my Reciever.
also i'm able to switch of my TV and still listen to Music when running XBMC.
