Here is the situation,

Built a computer for a friend a few years back Q6600 @ 3.2 24/7 and CF 4850's

He has since ran all the wire to his reciever behind drywall.

He just got his huge flat screen and he did not run optical cable for sound figuring HDMI had it covered, he did not check the vid card, needles to say it does not have HDMI or any audio capabilities

What cards do sound the best taking into account drivers that work, Not a fan boy here simply the best solution for the problem at hand, needles to say it has to have great vid preformance as well ....

Any insight is appriciated

Thanks

If he doesn't use it for anything but for video output, any AMD generations such as 5770 with an HDMI output is good enough. If he wants to do some gamings, a 6950 2GB will be suitable for that resolution.
