the pink thing is if it gets in water it changes colors, so if you try and return it they will know if it is water damaged and wont take it

[Jivemaster2005]

The card uses a PCI-E power connector since it's actually a PCI-E card but it has a PCI-E->AGP bridge chip on the PCB...probably underneath the heatsink

Hmm, about DVI and audio... if I use an nVidia GTX470 with a DVi to HDMI adapter, audio does come out. How did they manage to get audio to come out the DVI port?

[lmull3]

@AllAroundBang probably an onboard audio chipset on the video card. but, i perfer using a real sound source like a sound card instead.

[alielmir2]

@AllAroundBang because with with the 4650 since there is no hdmi on board there is no audio chip in the pcb therefore you'll only get hd video output. the gtx 470 (which is a newer card) has a mini hdmi (smaller version of hdmi) which means sound can be out putted . so by using the dvi converter its will commuinicate with sound chip on the pcb. sorry for the confusing language and this is possibly why it works with your card (gtx 470) but not his (HD4650)

that pink thing is the PCIe to AGP bridge chip.. they put some sort of thermal pad on there to protect the die.. kinda pointless but yeah..

[jdcrispe95]

i got the PCIe XFX version of this card and i can tell you for sure, the card will outlast the system. :)

[lindsaymobil22]

I have the PCI-E version of this card, same specs, 1GB DDR2, its a great card, even for some gaming!

[37474748]

[KhanTutorials]

first =) anyway I like the fact that sapphire's graphic card have no case covering the card because on some computers there aren't enough space because of the MASSIVE case other companies put on there video or graphics card.

[lmull3]

@KhanTutorials that's because this card doesn't run hot and doesn't need the cooling the others do, so, no need for a giant shroud, lol
