I was thinking this would be a no brainer until I saw it didn’t do audio. I would like a way to do wireless video and audio so I can play PC games on my TV that require the performance of a gaming system. I don’t know if the limitations is due tot he hardware they used or the standards […]

I’m thinking this type of connection could make for some cool sideshow devices. Maybe even a better standard for Home Automation device.

I was hoping these were going to be the cheapest in the lineup and also be air cooled. After reading the article it looks like we need to wait on the 56XX series to come out before we see a fanless card without the requirement of additional power.  But for 160 bucks the 5770 might be a replacement for my […]
