Review: MSI NX8500GT MTD256EH graphics card

A card that concentrates on Purevideo

Simon Crisp, Personal Computer World 30 Oct 2007

MSI’s latest card is passively cooled and based around Nvdia’s 8500GT GPU.

With just a 450MHz core clock and 256MB of GDDR2 memory running at 800MHz, it’s not going to set the world alight with its performance, but that’s not what this card is about.

Instead, it concentrates on another feature of Nvidia’s G8x architecture - Purevideo technology.

With its support for decrypting HD video and HDTV output, it comes as no surprise to find an HDMI port on the back plate. The package includes two half-height plates, which allow the board to be put into some of the smaller entertainment PC cases.
