Did you build a HTPC recently, but was disappointed by its gaming performance, or simply avoided this because you still enjoy playing games, and you don't want to have more than one computer, or can't afford it? Well, from now on, you won't have any excuse for keeping that bulky server case, because Galaxy just announced what is probably the best low profile card at this moment, the GeForce 9600GT "Blade."

If we look at the graphics cards that were available until now for HTPCs, it's clear they were no match for games. Decent games, I mean. After all, you could play about the same games on your phone, and that's not something to be proud of, especially since you spent some money to build that nice multimedia rig for your living room.
Well, Galaxy's 9600GT "Blade," despite having a low profile, keeps all the high profile features of NVIDIA's reference design - G94 GPU, 8 16×32 Samsung DDR3 memory modules, providing a total of 512MB memory which uses a 256bit bus, 8 layer PCB, as well as one HDTV and one HDMI connectors.
For now, availability and price are not public, but we'll surely find out about them pretty soon. After all, time is money, and hardware producers should know it better than anyone!
