MSI Unveils Energy Saving Graphics Cards

29 May, 2009, 6:06 pm IST | by tech2 News Staff | Graphics Cards

MSI has unveiled two new energy saving graphics cards - N9800GT-MD1G and N9800GT-MD512.

Both cards use Nvidia's all new, advanced GeForce 9800GT GPU, which not only delivers all the performance of its predecessors, but uses a more advanced power control technology to decrease power consumption by up to 25%. Additionally, this card equips MSI's latest generation of capacitors, Hi-c CAP, and solid state chokes (SSC) for better, more stable overclocking and the most fulfilling performance/energy-saving graphical experience.  
 
Hi-c CAP uses the extremely rare Tantalum material in its core. Tantalum's stability also decreases the chance for power leakage to provide a higher level of power supply, and keeps the GPU stable even when running hot or overclocked.
 
MSI's all new N9800GT series also equips the latest SSC (Solid State Choke). This design decreases the high-frequency buzz noise often caused by traditional choke when running under high electrical currents. SSC also helps the electrical current, and are capable of managing 30% higher currents than traditional choke.

Going with the trend of PCs being used as a total home entertainment system (Home Theater PC/HTPC), MSI's N9800GT packages an HDMI port in addition to DVI and D-Sub ports for direct connection with an LCD TV. This advantage allows for hi-def audio and visual content to be directly broadcasted on the TV for crisp images and pounding sound effects.
