graphics card that can handle DolbyTrueHD and DTS HD MA?

Is there a graphics card that can handle DolbyTrueHD and DTS HD MA and transmit this via HDMI to my HT amp?

As I understand it my current nVidia [210 in HTPC]can handle many of the digital codecs (eg DD5.1) but cannot handle DolbyTrueHD or DTS HD MA both of which are the primary codecs used on blurays.

So is it a chipset thing? Do I have to get a more powerful GPU?
Is it a branding thing? Can ATi handle it but nVidia can't?


So you guys with HTPC with bluray onboard - how do you bitstream HD audio via HDMI?
Which cards do you use

This one any good?

So it's an ATi v nVidia thing is it?
I see

I was hoping for something a bit cheaper and smaller than a 5450 and passive too....

Are you looking at the same card as me? The 5450 is small, cheap and passive :p

You can always check the spec for the 4350, if you need to cut costs right back:

WOW!!

Obviously I wasn't

Only the ATI 5x series will do it if you want bitstreaming. ATI 4x and Nvidia cards will only give a PCM signal.

Your other options are the Xonar Slim card and the Azuntech HD something, but ATI is likely the best option for you.
