Sapphire has been thinking out of the box once again, and squeezed the recently released Radeon HD 7750 into a passively-cooled format. While we’re not totally smitted by the 7750, mainly due to its higher-than-we-would-have-hoped pricing, it’s not a bad card. Admittedly the 128-bit interface does limit it’s capabilities as well, but that aside, it can push out a good frame rate at lower resolutions and settings, and does of course support DirectX 11.1.

The fact that this is a passively-cooled model means it could be squeezed into a Home Theatre PC (or HTPC as they’ve quickly become known). It certainly makes for enticing option for a lounge gaming machine. It is a full height, double-slot card mind, so you’ll have to have a chunky chassis to throw it into.
