Powercolor has joined forces with KONNET, a developer
of audio/video components, and has announced some pretty practical
graphics and an HDMI cable bundles.
For starters, Powercolor is going to have this interesting bundle with
its HD 4870 X2 and HD 4870 PCS+ cards. The HD 4870 X2 will be bundled
with KONNET's FidelityHD 150 HDMI cable which has a length of 1.5
meters, diameter of 10.0mm, connector made of phosphor bronze and 24K
gold plating, and is shielded by a heatproof PVC layer and metal
shielding. As the premium KONNET HDMI cable this one also has a 2 piece
ferrite core.
The second one, HD 4870 PCS+ comes bundled with KONNET's ExpressHD 150
cable which is basically the same as the FidelityHD but without 2 piece
ferrite core. The ExpressHD is also a bit thinner at 6.5mm but the rest
of the specifications are the same.
It's a nice move by Powercolor, as HDMI cables can only be found
bundled with premium cards, and as far as we know, the bundled HDMI cable will not
affect the price of these cards.
