And you though PhysX cards were bad...

This has to be the most pointless thing i've ever seen/heard off.

The HIS iClear card is HIS latest solution to video card noise reduction. It has an excellent implement of state-of-the-art design and technology and give you a better gaming experience by reducing the distortion and noise generated from graphic card. It reduces the noise distortion generated from high-end graphic card (from both Radeon and GeForce) or TV tuner card, which provide up to 10% increase performance on Signal-to-Noise Ratio.

For example: The SNR (Signal-to-Noise Ratio) is up to 10% (SNR 38 vs 34.3) better in ATI X1300XT model.

PhysX, Killernic and now this! I wonder what useless products they'll think of next.

It looks like a bunch of capacitors on a pcb that connects to the PCI-E BUS.....

[DougBob]

You have got to be kidding me, is this for real?

[Warhead]

some people will buy anything with a fat pricetag

[Sirex]

I'm gonna make and sell a Switch Temperature monitor, know so you can tell if the power button is to hot to press!!

[WalkinTarget]

Actually, a product even a bit more worthless would be the 'HERS' model of that card. That's for the PC geek that has everything, including 'HIS' and 'HERS' matching noise reduction cards.

Don't think I'll be buying this....

When I first read this I was like..."you could do that already with SNMP". Then I realized that you meant any old switch or button.

capacitors and resistors actually. it's a good old RC filter.

[Trooper110]

Ah yes, RC filters, I tried very hard to forget about them after school *grins* Wonder how much that little "beauty" costs compared to selling price.....

[paceman]

My guess is the most expensive piece of that board is the silkscreen saying HIS.

There isn't $1 worth of components on the board.

[Trooper110]

I'm betting more on the metal face panel myself paceman They probably get a discount for ordering massive ammounts of the silkscreen

I bet I could come up with a homebrew card like that pretty easy though if I knew what all the pins were used for. That would require research though

[paceman]

You may be correct about the face plate. It the most substantial piece. :-)

[drunken_chef]

they are selling at newegg for $80, lol.
