Introduction

HDMI is an acronym getting thrown around a lot more these days. We have to wonder though if it’s one of those features that people are actually using. It’s a bit like VIVO, everyone seemed to want a VIVO card a few years ago, but from what I have seen and heard rarely did people actually make use of the video input feature.

HDMI has been on TVs for quite a while now, but until the release of the Playstation 3 there wasn’t really many devices which used it so the port would go to waste on the back of your brand spanking new digital TV.

Digital TV users might currently find themselves with a Home Theater PC which utilizes a standard VGA cable, the other popular choice is a DVI-to-HDMI cable. The good news is that if you’re using the former but think it’s time to go digital connectivity between your HTPC and TV, we might have just the card for you.

MSI had a Diamond Plus version of the 7600GT which seemed like a bit of an instruction to HDMI on video cards, though this time around it looks a whole lot more professional on the 8600GTS Diamond Plus.

Let’s check it out.
