    I'm planning to buy a new clevo gtx 460m but I want to make sure that sound works through DisplayPort. Has anybody been successful on this? If so, which drivers did you use? :eek2:

    I'm not sure if there is any difference but I have a NVIDIA GTX 460M and have used my tv many times through the display port => HDMI and can confrim sound. I'm using the latest NVIDIA drivers 267.76

    the question is, is the 460m from dell or clevo?
    if you got the card with the system, it will work. but aftermarket mods from other dealers/suppliers don't always work 100%

    (mine does not downclock and sound not working through hdmi, also pcie bw is at 1.1 rather than 2.0)

    I have one of those cards. It's a Eurocomm card (same as Clevo from what I understand) that I got from a UK member here. The strange thing is that GPU-Z lists Dell as the vendor. It has stock Nvidia clocks though, not the underclocked Dell numbers, but I am using Dell Drivers from their site. I've used the Display Port to HDMI on 2 different TVs. One was a Samsung 40" LCD which worked perfectly (video and sound) without any extra settings. On a friend's Toshiba, I had to disconnect and reconnect the cable a couple of times before the TV was listed in the sound control panel. I then had to choose the TV as the default playback device and everything worked.

    Here's a screenshot of my GPU-Z:
