    MSI NX7600GT Diamond Plus: HDMI Ported Graphics Card, NVIDIA Chips

    PC graphics cards are beginning to sprout HDMI ports, and here's the latest one to get into the act, the MSI NX7600GT Diamond Plus. Not only can this one rock the audio and video from card to LCD, but it packs 256MB of memory for 3D goodness. Nice versatility,—now you can feed audio and video from PC to TV using just one cable, and use that monitor to watch video, even if your content is hobbled with that dreaded HDCP copy protection scheme. Of course, that LCD better be hooked up for HDMI audio and video, though, for this to work.

    This is just the beginning for the HDMI ports on graphics cards. First card out of the gate with an HDMI port was the Sapphire Radeon X1600Pro, introduced about five weeks ago. Just before that, NVIDIA told us we'd soon see an HDMI-ported card using its chips, and here's the first one, using an NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT GPU. There are many more on the way, no doubt. – Charlie White
