Sapphire Silent HD 2600 XT
posted in Technology, Hardware |Sapphire is shipping the Silent HD 2600 XT which is a passively cooled video card that is a candidate for the media-center box up against the NVidia 8600GTS from Gigabyte. I would love to see some benchmark comparisons between these two cards. No word yet on pricing for the Sapphire card.
One advantage of the Sapphire- apparently its available in a 512MB version which for high resolution displays (like the 24″ and 30″ LCDs I use rather than conventional TVs) might turn out to be useful.
