How does all that work? do you need a seperate soundcard (for 5.1 etc) as well as the graphics card with HDMI?

Sorry, I've just been looking into building a good HTPC for all my media/TV needs and was wondering if someone could help, this looks to be a very good option.

any thoughts?]]>Jan 14th 2010 5:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/14/ati-radeon-hd-5670-brings-directx-11-and-eyefinity-to-the-budget/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/14/ati-radeon-hd-5670-brings-directx-11-and-eyefinity-to-the-budget/
If its an HTPC/gaming machine you're building, the 5670 would be a good start, but naturally a faster card would be better if you're serious about the gaming. If its purely a HTPC, you would be better off either waiting for the 5450 which will come out as it will be cheaper and quieter, or build a system using the new Intel core i3 chips. These do all the things the ATI cards do, HD acceleration, audio over HDMI etc only without the gaming performance.]]>Jan 14th 2010 6:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/14/ati-radeon-hd-5670-brings-directx-11-and-eyefinity-to-the-budget/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/14/ati-radeon-hd-5670-brings-directx-11-and-eyefinity-to-the-budget/HTPC/Gaming ?!

As if that's a legitimate form factor..

The two uses are by definition very different. The only similarity may be found in wanting to play back HD.

HTPC's are designed to be small and quiet.

Gaming PC's are designed with egocentric Xx G4M3R xX 's in mind.. They are large (as they have to be to hold the owners ego) often noisy due to the 15 fans controlled by a touch screen controller that is so compulsory.]]>Jan 14th 2010 2:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/14/ati-radeon-hd-5670-brings-directx-11-and-eyefinity-to-the-budget/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/14/ati-radeon-hd-5670-brings-directx-11-and-eyefinity-to-the-budget/You are misguided....]]>Jan 14th 2010 4:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/14/ati-radeon-hd-5670-brings-directx-11-and-eyefinity-to-the-budget/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/14/ati-radeon-hd-5670-brings-directx-11-and-eyefinity-to-the-budget/Jan 14th 2010 6:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/14/ati-radeon-hd-5670-brings-directx-11-and-eyefinity-to-the-budget/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/14/ati-radeon-hd-5670-brings-directx-11-and-eyefinity-to-the-budget/Jan 14th 2010 6:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/14/ati-radeon-hd-5670-brings-directx-11-and-eyefinity-to-the-budget/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/14/ati-radeon-hd-5670-brings-directx-11-and-eyefinity-to-the-budget/Erm, blu-ray audio/video actually tends to be on the BD disc..

But yes this card would playback HD content from a BD drive.

I guess that's why NYT is considered the pinnacle publication of the American English language. They make quite the salary, besides.

I'd like to think that the avoidance of simple redundancies, combined with improper conjugation, like "have got", is not too much to ask in any publication. It's absolutely glaring. I can understand the dangling participle, as that seems to be a predominant characteristic of American English as opposed to the King's English ... but still, it doesn't require any additional effort to form a proper sentence, and propagating poor grammar just makes it all the worse.]]>Jan 14th 2010 11:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/14/ati-radeon-hd-5670-brings-directx-11-and-eyefinity-to-the-budget/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/14/ati-radeon-hd-5670-brings-directx-11-and-eyefinity-to-the-budget/Jan 14th 2010 1:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/14/ati-radeon-hd-5670-brings-directx-11-and-eyefinity-to-the-budget/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/14/ati-radeon-hd-5670-brings-directx-11-and-eyefinity-to-the-budget/I find "has got" to be a chore to read.

Since they are still new it's still at the $99.99 MSRP in most places.
