Sapphire today announced that it has confirmed supplies of its much anticipated HDMI compliant graphics card. Its Radeon X1600 Pro card is fully equipped with the necessary components to support full HDMI-HDCP output. Sapphire had been speaking about the card for several weeks but questions on availability were still up in the air. Today Sapphire confirms that products will be available in April.

Just in time for Vista and the HDCP requirements for digital video media.

Any word on why they chose the ATI Radeon x1600 chipset as opposed to the x1900? Seems the x1600 is destined to be out much sooner.
