Audio through DVI with EVGA 570?

[jacktesterson]

I want to output audio/video to two tv setups

One is by hdmi, and the other I want to run a 20 foot dvi->hdmi cable to another tv setup a floor above.

I know this worked fine with my last ATI card, but just want to make sure my 570 will do it as well as I'm about to order a cable on eBay.

Thanks

Nevermind I went and just found a cable and works fine.

And yes Audio through DVI has been around for a while.... I just haven't owned a Nvidia card in some time, knew ATI worked fine but it seems to work great with my 570 too.

You route the audio from the motherboard spdif output to the video card, then use a DVI-->HDMI adapter. I believe most Nvidia cards are like this.

Older Nvidia cards were like this (where you had to hook the SPDIF output from your motherboard or audio card into your video card via a separate cable). You don't have to do this anymore as the audio is sent directly through the card to the DVI port.

No longer needed.

Just plug and play.
