MSI has introduced five new graphics cards
The innovations built around the RV730 graphics core can serve a good service, especially when building an HTPC machine.
The MSI Radeon HD 4650 and HD 4670 graphics cards of the R4650 and R4670 have largely the same features in terms of equipment, a significant difference can only be detected in their performance. It is planned that both models will be available with 512 MB and 1 GB of on-board memory, respectively, and a passive cooling version of the HD 4650 will also be available. The piquancy of DirectX 10.1 compatible innovations is provided by the HDMI port located next to DVI and D-Sub, of course UVD 2.0 enables smooth playback of high-definition material. Devices with high-life Hi-C capacitors also differ from the reference models in their hardware design: in addition to reducing the physical size of the units, their energy consumption has been reduced, eliminating the need for extra power, which of course has a beneficial effect on heat production.
The timing of the launch of the products is still unknown, as is no credible information on the expected purchase price of the assets.
