HIS came up with a special add-on card

We first saw iClear on the 2007 Computex, then called iFilter.

The gold-black iClear, which fits into a PCI Express slot - be it x1, x4 or x16 - has a beneficial effect when placed between a graphics controller and another card (such as a TV tuner), absorbing harmful electromagnetic noise from VGA.

According to HIS measurements, the signal-to-noise ratio of an ATI Radeon X1300 XT can be reduced by up to 10% in this way, improving sound and picture quality. To what extent this covers reality, our readers can also find out from Digital-Life’s independent test by clicking on the source link.
