Saphhire som de fleste kender, har tidligere været ude med et kort som har HDMI udgang. Skal man finde et kort herhjemme med HDMI har det været noget af en opgave.
Jeg er personligt søgt efter et kort i X1k klassen pga AVIVO understøttelsen og mulighederne har ikke været mange. Ønsker man så også et lav-profil kort går det helt galt.
Sapphire mener at de nu har løsningen til HTPC'en som både skal være lille og alligevel have alt.
Deres nye X1600 kort med HDMI som er et lav-profil kort.
"In another first, leading graphics supplier Sapphire Technology has just announced availability of its first HDMI graphics solution. The Sapphire Radeon X1600Pro HDMI card is now shipping and delivers both audio and video to HDMI compliant displays and televisions."
