My 430 does everything my 220 did and HD-Audio passthrough too, although I'm in the UK I have a fair amount of US 1080i so adv 2x de-int works fine at 1080, well unless the much discussed playback pauses turn out to be under specced vdpau cards!

I did check specs and order a 430 with the highest pixel clock I could find in case it was borderline.
