The trick is that they use the unused pins on DVI to transfer the audio. A typical DVI connection and a typical DVI/HDMI adpater do not use these unused pins. Therefore only the adapter and connections supplied with these ATI cards can handle video and audio.

Ya I'm planning on getting a ATI. I'm trying to decide if I should go with the 4850s or spend just abit more and the the 4870s. I want one with a better fan on it.
