Asus Announces HDMI Certified Graphics Cards

Tue 2007-08-14 - Posted by Patrick "MACMAC" MacMillan

As the title reveals, Asus has just introduced two new graphics cards, both with included HDMI adapters.

Here’s what they had to say:

“With the widespread proliferation of PC products utilizing HDMI connections in recent years, HDMI is deemed as the next digital interface for the home entertainment center. ASUS, leading provider of high-performance graphics solutions, today introduced the ASUS EAH2600PRO/HTDI/256M and EN8600GT/HTDI/256M – high performance graphics cards that feature bundled high-quality HDMI adaptors certified by HDMI Licensing, LLC. Home theatre lovers can now enjoy enhanced and convenient home multimedia to the fullest with these newly launched ASUS “HDMI Certified” graphics cards.”

Asus logically picked these two mainstream cards because they both feature hardware acceleration for video decoding, and are proving extremely popular with the HTPC crowd. However, to be honest, these aren’t revolutionary products. In effect, Asus is just providing you with a “certified” DVI to HDMI adapter.
