Sapphire HDMI-Compliant Graphics Card
 
Sapphire has announced that it has confirmed supplies of its much anticipated HDMI-compliant graphics card.

The Radeon X1600 Pro card is fully equipped with the necessary components to support full HDMI-HDCP output. We can’t believe that we’re going to have to buy yet another video card just so we can get HDCP support for hi-def content.

The X1600 series has been designed to deliver high efficiency, high performance in Shader Model 3.0 and enhanced image quality. The architecture also supports Avivo delivering vibrant high fidelity images and video playback to the latest High Definition (HD) video standards.

The new HDMI version is a low profile PCI Express card which supports HDCP and delivers new levels of display performance and quality over this new industry standard connection interface. Two versions provide for either an external SPDIF or internal cable to be connected so that the audio signal is delivered over the HDMI cable.

The Sapphire Radeon X1600 Pro with its 12-pixel pipelines promises the highest graphics performance in its class - even for shader intensive gaming. Equipped with 128MB of GDDR3 memory, this model features clock speeds of 500MHz (core) and 800MHz (memory).

Retail versions of these new Sapphire graphics accelerators will ship with multimedia software including PowerDVD and Sapphire Select. Each card is bundled with a DVD containing a selection of top games from several leading software houses. You can play each of the games for a 1-hour trial before choosing which titles you want to keep and use the activation codes for those titles.

The card is also able to pass audio signal through the HDMI interface or through a SPDIF connection.
