Morning :)

I'm looking to get the most out of my R9 290. I've heard about this Trueaudio and done a bit of googling (not much admittedly) and all I can find is this is the new next best thing ever! We will make all your sound better, your life complete and you will have more sex!

But, what it actually does and how it works, seems to be a bit more elusive. More to the point, is this for specific titles only? Does the sound still output via my MB or does it go through the GPU (displayport doesn't carry sound, does it?).

If AMD is to be believed, then this will rock my world but I have no idea how to use it. I'm guessing it's like Mantle, but for audio, in that devs have to specifically support it in their games.

So lovely folks of the GPU section, anyone speak stupid and care to explain?
 
Cheers folks.

So it's effectively just a gimmick then. Ah well, OcUK can expect an order for a sound card soon then :)
