Not exactly long ago, it was reported that NVIDIA has its eyes set on wireless display technology, and it seems that, true or not, Galaxy has similar ideas, having even prepared the GeForce GTX 460 WHDI Edition.

So-called wireless display technologies are used in order to allow a personal computer to, instead of using any sort of wires, stream video to a TV without any sort of cables.

Intel already has its own such solution, one that can be seen as similar in purpose with the WHDI developed by AMIMON, though its latency is higher and less suited for interactive tasks.

It is the latter technology that will be featured in the newest device developed by Galaxy.

Basically, Galaxy is almost ready to launch a video card, a special iteration of the GTX 460 to be exact, which boasts the WHDI technology.

This card is, as consumers well know, powered by the GF104 graphics processing units and aimed at the higher level of the mainstream market.

The clock speeds of Galaxy's upcoming model have not been revealed, unfortunately, but they are not the main point of interest either.

What truly make the product stand out is the set of five antennas which can stream HD video, wirelessly, to a small black box.

Said black box connects via a wire to a HDTV (High Definition TV) and relays that which the PC is transmitting, and this isn't restricted to just movies or other video files.

In fact, the card is claimed to have a wireless transmission latency of just 1 millisecond, which means that it should be usable even for gaming.

Of course, normal connectivity to a monitor is also possible, as the video board still has its DVI and HDMI outputs.

Unfortunately, pricing details are still unknown, but they, along with the clocks, should be made public soon, considering that availability is scheduled for next month.
