[mariosarmy]

I have a gtx 470 and i want to connect my monitor and the hd tv in the living room.But i have only one hdmi port for the monitor.Also i have 2 dvi ports, i wonder if i connect hd tv with dvi cable it will display hd games as it would with hdmi?

Yea it would be the same as both are digital signals, the only difference is the port of course and I don't think DVI carries sound.
But it will work fine.

Yes and with the lastest Nvidia drivers will also carries sound.
Also you can buy an DVI - HDMI Adapter on ebay or local store.

So i should buy a dvi to hdmi cable,connect dvi to gpu and hdmi to hdtv.And i will be ok? because i read on other forums that dvi carries ONLY video.

Note.GTX 470 dvi ports are dual link

DVI does only carry video.

Exactly as you say. The working sound deppends of the Graphic Card, i have a Gigabyte oc gtx 460 that supports it. My old 8800 GT didn't support it unless i use a HDMI - HDMI Cable with (S/PDIF) on the card.

Most adapters/cables are including audio.

Check the link and read on feautres.

I'm pretty sure the DVI ports on the card do not output audio, the older Nvidia cards didn't output audio on the HDMI port unless an internal SPIDF cable was connected.

Buy me a HDMI monitor then and I will!

But yea, I would listen to mousemonkey and me on this one and say that your GPU does not support DVI audio and you will need to find another way to get sound which isn't hard at all.

But you won't see a difference in quality going from HDMI to DVI besides the difference between the 2 screens themselves.

I hope to help a lot of people with this. Yes you can send audio to the tv with 4 series nvidia gpu and latest drivers.


after you get the adapter/cable go to Nvidia control Panel.
-Set up digital audio
-then make sure your tv is available trough the dvi.

-Then go to Control Panel and select the TV audio port as a default.

Give us a feedback if it worked for you.
