We got this 55nm Galaxy low-profile 9600GT from Galaxy today. Key word here, 55nm means lower power consumption and fever, what HTPC demands.

The 55nm Galaxy low-profile 9600GT runs at 650MHz/1625MHz/900MHz(Core/Shader/Memory), it will be severely fit HTPC. Let’s expect its performance. Pics are taken for you, here we go!

the 55nm low-profile 9600GT comes without DVI support, but HDMI and S-Video instead

what surprises us is the 8-layer PCB design!
