I guess this card is aimed at an HTPC with a 4k display. It seems too weak for gaming, too strong for normal HD video and too silent for a normal office PC.

Somewhere between DUURRR and witty.

That might be on my taxmess list

I think this is the first passively cooled card I've seen that looks decent. I know looks aren't that big of a deal considering the card will most likely end up in a windowless HTPC, but looks count for something right?

I do believe you mean "normal speed," not "nominal speed."If it were running at nominal speed, that would mean that it had a speed only because you said it does.

I read it in the article as normal, then saw your comment, and thought to myself, "Since when does TomsHardware fix typos? They still don't for those curious.

Now, just get it to play synergetically with Kaveri AND Mantle...

Why only 1 GB?

 

[COLGeek]

Sounds like a great option for a HTPC.

Audio guys will be thrilled.

Why only 1 GB?

Because the card can't handle more than that. It's like the 770 4GB, the bus is too narrow for that amount of VRAM, it's a total waste of money.
