I would have bought a GTX570 already, but they have not added this feature into GF110 for whatever reason and that is a huge dissapointment. This upcoming GTX560 will be the first card to offer upper mid-range performance AND include the audio bitstreaming.

I know I am in the minority as one who runs everything thru a A/V reciever, but this is a make or break feature for me. The 6950/6970 are also appealing because they include this, but I will wait to see how the GTX560 stacks up before deciding.

Agreed.

The only thing keeping me from pulling the trigger on a new graphics card like the GTX 580/570 is the lack of bitstreamed DTS HD and Dolby True HD Audio formats.

Btw... are there any sound cards available that offer DTS HD Master or Dolby True HD encoding? I love how my X-Fi Titanium HD takes 6 channel audio from games, encodes it into Dolby or DTS... and sends it off to my Harman Kardon AVR354 receiver for decoding and amplification.
