I've currently got my 9800 GTX hooked up to my monitor and my HDTV via DVI cables for each. I have an internal S/PDIF cable connecting my Xonar DS to the 9800 GTX so I can get audio over the DVI to HDMI cable going to my HDTV. Does the the GTX 460 have a similar feature - am I still going to get audio over the DVI to HDMI cable? I am planning to upgrade to a GTX 460 and want to make sure I'm not going to lose this feature since I use it quite a bit.

The 460 does not need the S/PDIF cable for audio over DVI/HDMI. The latest video drivers will have the audio drivers packed in the installer.

Edit:
The 460 also supports bitstream.

Cool thanks, this is exactly what I wanted to know.
