haha everybody knew HDMI can support audio.. can anyone care to explain this round?
coz some gpu that built with HDMI port also need external soundcard...
i just want to know truely ever deeply it's really can work.. too bad i've no HDMI tv set... so cannot try...

I'd leave the audio job to the soundcard department. Let the HD4xxx do what its best at....producing stunning graphics

that's because ati gpus starting from hd 2000 series has an integrated audio processor and that's why u dun hav to connect spdif-out from mobo to gc unlike nv cards because nv gpus lack any audio processor

any got any idea where i can get a long crossfire bridge cable?
replacing 2 x S1 on 2 x 4850 .. the original bridge not long enough.

example(SLI)

No,

its Computer <=> Sound System <=> Monitor/LCD

<=> denotes an HDMI cable. So you need two hdmi cables. The new HDMI standard allows video and audio to be carried on the same line.

the easiest is just computer -> lcd tv as hdmi can carry audio and video signal simultaneously over a small, thin cable

is the AS-accelero S1 as long as HD4870?? or longer?

normally come with mobo..
different mobo got different space..
your mobo not supplied?

the standard bridge isn't long enough to pass over the s1, thats what he means, and cf bridges come bundled with the gfx card.

i notice. my mobo doesn't come with it also..

my previous abit ix38gt also doesn't come with crossfire bridge.



I think you can try to get it pass through the S1 cooler alu fins.

i think my mobo bundled with a little bit long bridge..
coz it's standard dual slot..

dfi x48 t3r come with long cf bridge but only one

does it make a difference if one were to crossfire across different brands - such as... Asus HD4870 and Saphhire HD4870 ?

Nope...currently all cards are made by the same manufacturer. Same pcb...same BIOS...different decal

considering whether i should wait for 4870x2 for crossfire...

would love to play Crysis at 2560 at the highest quality

yeah my grandpa is considering waiting for ati HD10000
he said crysis needs 200 fps average for all the eye candy

weak eyes

the number of times i have seen ppl post..
i will wait to get this or considering to get that etc.. and never get
dude.. keep ure thoughts to ure self.. this aint a kopitiam thread...to post every thing u think or fantasize..

post something relevant to the hardware or ask something

ke ke ke lol.... my grandma thiking of Xfire HD1000... ke ke ke lol

wait = no meaning... either u use now or you dont use...
thel longer u wait, more new things comming up.... this is no antique,. this is technology...

which brand to get if consider 4870? sapphire? gecube?

no difference, except packaging or bundle, just get the cheapest will do, coz all use same cooler
