True. It's a bit of a marketing gimmick

No, awful.
Was just waiting for the first "Great for XBMC" comment. ATI cards can't output a HD audio in 5.1, only stereo, have terrible linux support, buggy, have a stutter in video due to way video can be displayed at 23.976fps and gets rounded up to 24fps, causing a suttter when audio is resyched with video. It's a hardware issue and cannot be corrected in software.
Really annoying seeing people advise on ATI cards for "media pc" or "xbmc". They are certainly not reccomended by the developers, just the silly sods who bought the cards.

i have an old 4650 that can output DD and DTS over hdmi, This card will bitstream DTS-MA and Dolby True HD albeit through LPCM but thats just apples for apples!, in fact ATI/AMD have had beeter HDMI audio support through windows than Nvidia. although i totally agree for a HTPC (esp Linux) stick to Nvidia
quote AMD specs "Integrated HD audio controller
Output protected high bit rate 7.1 channel surround sound over HDMI with no additional cables required
Supports AC-3, AAC, Dolby TrueHD and DTS Master Audio formats"

So you are saying that all the specs for the card on AMD/ATI's website are made up ?
Mine plays blu ray at 1080p just as well as it does on my 7850 without any stutter

Can you recommend a good card for a Windows HTPC then, genius?
What the previous poster was referring to was the bitstreaming of HD audio codecs to a AV reciever. Because lets be honest would you rather let the DACs of purpose built amp or or the cheap components of a HTPC do the work?
What is this mythical card that nobody seems to be able to find?

Not sure what you're talking about. 5 series ATI cards output DD and DTS via HDMI as well as bitstream HD audio (again via HDMI). Have done so for years.
Perfect for a HTPC and XBMC (there I've said it). No point in the 1 Gb version as the 512 Mb version does all that's needed for a HTPC. Passive as well so silent.

Geforce 4** series do bit streaming over HDMI don't they?
