Sorry, I'll keep that in mind next time :) Right now I'm thinking I should go for the 1912 since it's very likely I'll be getting a TV before buying a new receiver again. Thanks a lot for helping me. I really appreciate it!

Thanks for the clarification! I really just want the best sound possible with my setup, if PCM sounds just as great I'll use that :)

I wasn't really sure about what would be reasonable price for what I was asking, but I'm all for cheaper. Your suggestion looks great, but here in Norway that cost about $1200 so I wouldn't be able to afford that for the next couple of years at least. In retrospect my initial $700 suggestion...

I don't have a sub, I have active speakers or something. Seller told me it would be practically no difference with speakers this cheap. But I should connect the sub anyway I guess?

Thanks a lot for the input! Any recommendations on a new receiver that can handle hdmi? Not too expensive (at least below $700) and that's a bit "future proof" (with that I mean one I would still like when switching to better speakers, maybe upgrading to 7.1 a few years from now). I kinda like...

It does have HDMI ports, but you mean it only handles video through these? Sounds a bit strange to me :s

The more I try to find answers to these questions the more confused I get, so I thought I'd try asking this forum :) If this is posted wrong I apologise. My computer specs are listed at the bottom. So here's the thing. I would like to get the best sound possible with true 5.1 surround when I...

It seems my friend hadn't looked properly for the problem. It was in fact his CPU fan that was running at 100% and making a ruckus which he fixed by switching to manual control in bios. So no trouble with the GTX 580 :)

Thanks! :D

Silly question perhaps, but how do you do that? :)

thanks, don't think it's the airflow, but I'll tell him to check both options tomorrow.

Has anyone had any problems with a gtx 580 being too loud? My friend just got his card and he says it's very loud, even compared to his neighbor's HD5970. Would I be completely off if I think that should not be the case and that there might be a problem with the fan (as in it running at 100%...

I don't use hdmi. DVI to my screen and optical to my receiver (from the mb, not a sound card). I thought bitstreaming was what I did, but after reading about it I'm guessing that the on board sound card is handling the decoding (which might explain why I hear so little from the speakers behind...

Thanks for all help! I think I will wait and see how the 560 does in tests before I make my decision :)

The cost of the 580 is stretching it, I would like to spend a little bit less really
