European graphics cardmaker KFA2 has launched the world’s first WHDI graphics card where it uses technology from mother company Galaxy that enables video signals to be sent wirelessly. With KFA2 GeForce GTX 460 WHDI you can play at HD resolutions on any display around the house.
KFA2 GeForce GTX 460 WHDI is basically a regular GeForce GTX 460 graphics card with 336 CUDA cores and 1GB GDDR5 memory buffer equipped with a WHDI transmitter circuit from AMIMON.
The graphics card send its video signals through the WHDI circuit that sits on a mini-PCIe port on the graphics card. The signals then goes out through the five powerful antennas that sits next to the other regular video outputs. The card ships with a receiver box that connects to your display of choice; monitor, TV or projector perhaps.
AMIMON’s WHDI technology supports resolutions up to 1920×1080 pixels at 60 Hz and transmits over the 40 MHz channel on the 5 GHz band. With a reach of up to 30 meter and HDCP 2.0 support you can stream games and Blu-ray movies to your TV without copy protection problems.
KFA2 GeForce GTX 460 WHDI ships with a GPU clock frequency of 675 MHz while the GDDR5 memory rolls on at 3,600 MHz, which matches NVIDIA’s reference card. The card will be available soon, but we don’t know the price.
