HDMI is built in along with DVI-I and VGA connectors. The
HDMI connection carries a 7.1 Channel Audio as well.

The test machine is an AMD AM3 Phenom II X4 810, on a MSI
790FX-GD70 (reviewed next) and 2×2GB of Ballistix DDR3 PC3-12800 from Crucial.
The operating system is Vista Ultimate 64-bit.

Now, what has actually been the standout on this card is
the quiet cooling and performance for the midrange. The card retails at $139.99
and performs relatively well.

The benchmark with 3D Vantage gave a score of P6775. GPU
Test1 produced a respectable 19.67 FPS and GPU Test2 had a score of 20.03. It
runs very quietly even in the middle of rendering high intensity graphics.
Although these scores aren’t extremely high, for a midrange system, it performs
like a champ.

3D Vantage scores are good and nice to use for bragging (or
excuses to purchase new parts) but the real test is in real world GAMING!

We tested the card with all settings on full at 1280×1024
resolution. The games tested were HL2:Lost Coast 64-bit mode, Team Fortress 2,
Call of Duty : Modern Warfare, and Lord of the Rings Online (Ultra High).

HL2:Lost Coast 64-bit mode(DX9) scored 125.37 FPS.

Team Fortress 2 (DX9) scored 75.34 FPS in FULL Battle.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (DX9) had a solid 90 FPS.
CoD4 never dropped below 90FPS .

Lord of the Rings Online(DX10) with Ultra settings ran at
an amazing 67.09 FPS.

Aion with maxed out settings ran at an eye-popping 90.73
FPS.

Now, to be honest, Lord of the Rings Online, there was some initial lag as the textures were loaded. 512MB of GPURAM isn’t very much, and the lag at the beginning was attributed to the need to load more textures into the card.
