MSI’s R4600 HDMI series slips into the market
MSI is getting in on the HTPC/HDMI action. It’s not a silent card and so it has a small fan, which is hopefully nice and quiet.
MSI’s R4600 HDMI’s entire series has native HDMI output to allow direct
connection of your pc with hi-def TVs, monitors and projectors.
Supporting full HD at a resolution of 1920×1080, this card presents
beautiful colors and imagery. The 7.1 sound channels makes a fantastic
base for setting up a total family entertainment system with total
surround sound – just like a movie theater! The R4600 HDMI series also
supports Unified Video Decoder (UVD) 2.0, so that the CPU is not
decoding the entire digital stream itself, which helps lessen the
amount of electricity used by the CPU and prevents lag. In this way,
the card also helps to cut down energy use and does its part to help
protect the environment.
