Cabling is the bane of every computer geek/gamer/HTPC enthusiast and nothing grinds my gears more than a flurry of ugly cabling in an otherwise pristine minimalist environment. Just about everything has gone wireless these days when it comes to computers; keyboards, mice, even networking has ditched its cabled heritage in favour of existing on the wireless spectrum.
The latest in devices to go wireless in your beloved desktop PC is the graphics card. Yup you heard me right, KFA2 or Galaxy's GeForce GTX460 WHDI 1024MB PCIe 2.0 card features 5 aerials to stream uncompressed 1080p video from your PC to your WHDI enabled television. Before you get up in arms over having to make an indulgent purchase, the card also comes with a 5GHz WHDI receiver to use with your displays and will work to a range of about 100ft.
I wonder what the gaming performance would be like for this, as it's just the same GTX460 that has already been released with 1024MB of RAM. Hopefully there will be some use to this technology and it's still early days with the GTX460 WHDI being the pioneer. No word on availability or price just yet. Safe to say it's not going to be cheap and the people who buy it, will be doing so "just because they can".
