I just received my Radeon 3850's and are pretty happy with it. And now only one thing makes me think.....

What is really the point of the 3850's HD audio "thing" ? I don't really know it's purpose.......

Performance? Feature? Anything? >.<

It lets you plug your Radeon into an HDTV using HDMI. You'll get sound directly into the TV without having to deal with extra cables and such.

Exactly. Alot of TVs wont allow max resolution from the VGA port, so if one has a 1080p TV and wants 1920x1080 resolution you need to use you TVs HDMI port. TV deticated HDMI will squeal and pop if it dont find a video and audio feed through the same cable. Luckily mine has 1 HDMI for video and sound and one HDMI for just video.
