8800, and HDMI...
I have a 8800 GTX, and it only has two DVI ports.
Anyway for me to hook a DVI-HDMI cable up to this and get the audio aswell? Or a DVI-HDMI Adapter, and hook a HDMI cable into it for Audio? As you may well know I want to hook it up to my TV (60 inch Sony Brav) It works great through DVI-HDMI cord, but no audio. And won't be any unless I can get it through the cable. |

I dont think the 8800 series has the chip to send audio over HDMI like the ATI cards do. Somebody correct me if Im wrong.

Damn, I hope so. I picked up a cheap ass 8000 series which does,
 So I was hoping this one could do it, since it's the top notch one. btw it's EVGA |

Despite the horsepower the 8800GTX provides, its also an older card. The 8600 cards will pass audio over HDMI, but the older G80 core GTS/GTX will not.

Ahwell Ok, how about this. I have Optical out on my PC, and my TV has optical IN, so if I buy say this..http://www.monoprice.com/products/pr...mat=4#feedback And connect it to the out/in, and use my DVI to HDMI cord, should work right? I know 25ft is long, but I realllly dont wanna move my PC unless I have to. lol I prolly should though just cuz the Revolution mouse is poor on signals |

Are you positive your TV has an optical in and not optical out? It wouldnt make sense to have a digital input on a TV because SPDIF is normally for 5.1 audio output, and a TV has 2 speakers. If it is an optical in, it should work fine.
