DailyTech previously reported on ATI Radeon based HDCP compliant graphics cards with HDMI audio/video output. HDCP compliant NVIDIA GeForce 7 series based cards started showing up but were only available in dual-DVI only configurations. MSI is announcing the worlds first retail NVIDIA based graphics card equipped with HDMI audio/video output capabilities. Sony’s previously released VAIO XL1 and XL2 Media Center PCs featured a GeForce 6200 or GeForce 6600GT with HDMI audio/video output but the graphics card was an OEM only item. The MSI NX7600GT Diamond Plus is based on NVIDIA’s GeForce 7600GT graphics processor. MSI has equipped the NX7600GT Diamond Plus with 256MB of GDDR3 memory clocked at 1400 MHz on a 128-bit memory interface—plenty for gaming and high definition video playback. The 7600GT GPU is clocked at NVIDIA’s recommended speed of 560 MHz.
