From what I remember, you will not see much an upgrade. In fact, I don't think there will be any upgrade if you already have a 6 series gpu. I don't like this cpu either. Tri-core 2.1 is just weird.

"Digital Visual Interface" (DVI) does not carry any sort of audio information. DVI->HDMI adapters only get the video feed.
