I was wondering if anyone knows if the 9000 series was the last gpu to have spdif headers? I've looked at various cards in the 200 line but all seem to have audio built in. I need to use my sound card so I can have audio from the fiber output and hdmi output.
I'm considering a 9600 gso or gt. It will be an upgrade from a 8600 gt that works fine but overheats from time to time and crashes, plus no spdif header. It will be used only for a htpc so no gaming. Given this, I thought a 9800 gt would too much for the price. Anyone have any thoughts or experience?
