MSI: *Offical* N430GT Series Thread

[MSI-Guru]

Well it’s just been launched, and whilst it may not be everyone’s cup of tea, for a card on a budget its worth considering. MSI's flavour comes with a low profile dual fan design, perfect for fitting into media HTPC builds where space is at a premium. HDMI 1.4a ready means this card will pump out TrueHD and DTS-HD audio steams in addition to decoding the 1080p content on a blu-ray without using the CPU. Its also ready for nVidia's 3D vision addon. Some first pics below:

Q's and C's welcome :D

Reading the Hexus review, the best thing this card could be used for is GPGPU IMO.

It's not ideal for gaming but would be good for physx/htpc

Bang on the money! It's really a HTPC dream card, with some adequate gaming performance, particularly if gaming on a TV type setup. :thumb:
