I am getting an ATI 5450 to bitstream HD audio for movies. It hadn't occurred to me till today that this would be a replacement for my Creative XtremeGamer Pro. The problem is I also play games on this machine through my 4870x2. So by using the 5450 am I going to get piss poor sound or will it bitstream even games?
If it won't bitstream games or if the sound is going to be poor, is there a way to use the Creative card for games and 5450 for movies?
Should I go with the Xonar HDAV1.3 since I am playing both games and movies?
My current setup is the 4870x2 to the TV and 3X3.5mm to 6 RCA from the Creative card to the receiver. With the 5450 in the mix the Creative card was going to be removed. The 4870x2 would still go directly to the TV and the 5450 would go to the receiver for audio.
