* GeForce GTX 480, 470, and 465 do not support advanced audio codecs.
** GeForce GTX 590, 580, and 570 do not support advanced audio codecs.
It is important to note that because the HD Audio drivers only currently supports up to 8 different channels, certain configurations of Dolby ATMOS will not be supported. The configurations of Dolby ATMOS: 5.1.2 (5.1 with two additional height channels) and 7.1.0 (7.1 with no additional height channels) would be supported
please be sure to consult the manual of your receiver/amplifier when configuring surround sound systems with an HD Audio compatible GPU as the source.
