hi bro,

no u cant use dvi to hdmi dongle which u still cant get truehd or dtsma sound from avr, so my suggestion is get from brand like sapphire for ati 5 series which i did for mine that i have hdmi port.
*
the link he put is for the sapphire card. SAPPHIRE HD 5570 1GB DDR3 DP
AFAIK, there's usually 2 models of the card, one with VGA, DVI and HDMI and the other model comes with VGA, DVI and Display Port.

the one that you put the link to is the latter. notice the DP in the model name. should point to Display Port.
get one with HDMI and you should be bitstreaming in no time

if you guys are using ReClock, what is the media adaption that you are using? I have tried to set my display freq to 50Hz, AVR input to 50Hz, and if I set the ReClock to 50Hz, it will become green but it will stutter a lot ... if I set to Auto or original refresh rate, it will become yellow but playback not so smooth...

media adaptation should be left at auto. that's what the manual (and other people are suggesting).
i'm personally using auto.

i reckon he said he don't even have speakers for it. probably no HT setup yet.
Yup. No decent speakers too. I'm currently using analog out to my old Pioneer AIO HT system.

motion judder are largely more noticeable on bigger screen. more area for the unresolved lines to appear.

Definitely. It takes both sides to make a smooth playback. PC hardware and display. The bigger the screen, any small judder is amplified.

I'm actually also looking for a decent card to replace my aging 2600. Would a ATI 6xxx series be better? I'm actually looking into future proofing the system till 3D. rclxms.gif

I set the media adaptation to original speed (for 23.976Hz source) with my Sony Bravia at 59.98 Hz. ReClock icon is green. Of course, I output to analog so the settings are different.

For those who bitstream to AVR, their settings should be different. You should use "select original speed", check the "locked" and "slave reference to audio" boxes. This will give you WASAPI exclusive-bitexact. The ReClock icon in this case will be yellow.

Is there anyway to set the ReClock media adaption setting automatically each time a movie is played?

I may be wrong but I believe it's at the Video Settings tab in the Reclock Properties?

Yeah, during pre-HDMI days, I was actually looking at Onkyo's HTIBs. They were very well recommended but couldn't find them anywhere here. sad.gif
