I have been looking at the following motherboard Z87M GAMING | MSI Global
I am a littel confused, it seems to offer a HDMI connection on board so I assume if I add a SLI / Crossfire (which it says it supports) then this HDMI connection becomes obsolete and I need to use the HDMI on the SLI / Crossfire board ?
Or will it be still used and the motherboard only uses the GPU of the SLI/Crossfire board ?
Is the sound also transmitted through the HDMI on the SLI / Crossfire board, I presume I need to connect something on the motherboard and the SLI /Crossfire board isn't a sound card so it will need to use the onboard sound.
I would like to connect an HDMI cable direct to my TV and have video and sound.
Still a bit of a novice in this area.
If you want your TV to handle the sound you would need to connect an audio cable from the computers audio device to the TV. Other devices like a console are different because of how they are designed. You should connect TV to the device you want to handle your display. – Ramhound – 2015-03-26T16:26:29.700
