X-Fi to GTX280 connection

[TerryS]

Hi, Which x-fi series cards have an internal spdif out to connect to a GTX280 graphics card. At the moment I have an x-fi gamer but would like to connect the PC to an HDTV via an HDMI cable.

SPDIF won't handle the full HDMI 1.3 spec for audio, so on certain Blu Ray movies it may not output any audio. You need a card which supports such formats.

As for SPDIF Xtreme Gamer and upwards have it;

Thanks for that, unfortunately my Xtreme gamer is a low profile card with no header pins. So any X-Fi with header pins as per your illustration should work?

I had that soundcard, found the headers fine. They are on the card just not labelled correctly. I would post pics but i dont have the card anymore

Isnt that is the set of pins that the X-Fi drive bay connects to?
