Galaxy Adding Wireless HD to GeForce GTX 460
Galaxy Microsystems' upcoming Geforce GTX 460 card will feature wireless HD streaming.
Galaxy Microsystems announced on Thursday that it implemented AMIMON’s WHDI technology into its latest Galaxy GTX 460 graphics card. The new WHDI Edition, shipping in October, will allow consumers to stream HD content and games wirelessly to their HDTV from the PC.
"Gamers and PC users alike want to take the PC games and content from a small monitor to the superior image of an HDTV," said Alex Lam, CEO of Galaxy Microsystems Ltd. "Fusing Galaxy’s high-performance graphics cards with AMIMON’s WHDI technology provides gamers and consumers with the highest quality wireless HD video connection."
According to Galaxy, AMIMON’s WHDI technology has no noticeable latency, estimated at less than one millisecond, making it suitable for most PC gaming. The card also contains five antennas which wirelessly connect to a stand-alone receiver plugged into the HDTV. This allows the user to place the PC anywhere in the room without the need for stringing cables across the floor.
Unfortunately, Galaxy didn’t release any specs on the card—the main focus was primarily set on the wireless HD content. However based on provided images, users can still connect the card to a monitor or HDTV using DVI and HDMI outputs.
Although the Galaxy GTX 460 WHDI Edition ships in October, pricing was not provided. Expect more info--hardware specs and actual availability--to appear in the coming weeks.
Heads up people, the Universe is pumping millions of Radio waves and other types of radiation through our head every millisecond, yet we're all fine =O.
This is an awesome idea btw, this is the future man. Love it, want it, can't afford it, damn it.

Yeah its only waves that require extreme precision that causes damage to our brains (cellphones) so local things like this shouldn't have long term effects.
good question +1 to you
Good question. I guess that's the wire running from the PC to the receiver.... Under the TV. Hah!
You guys are actually both wrong. Electromagnetic radiation can only cause harm in humans if resonating at the same frequency. Since these types of waves have a much lower frequency and energy than lets say a x-ray that you get at the dentist, there is no harm at all. People also think cell phones cause harm. This is obviously not true and if you spend some time looking at research articles, you will find that the media is completely wrong. Most media outlets commonly get the higher sciences completely wrong, so its not surprising that most people think the same way.
Works great!
the 50' cables can be found for really cheap on sale or in special cable stores online.

well hdmi transmits both video and audio so it would be a safe bet to assume it would transfer both, my current card transfers my video and audio thru hdmi so I expect it to do same otherwise the whole convenience aspect is ruined!
