Sapphire announces first HDMI-HDCP video card

Looks like someone is finally taking advantage of that "HDCP support" advertised -- but never delivered -- by ATI, and making an actual HDMI-HDCP video card. The new card, from Sapphire, is an RADEON X1600Pro with 128MB of GDDR3 memory, but we can't tell if it's the same as the pictured ATI HDMI card we saw leaked last month. Either way, looks like it'll be out in April -- hopefully not too late for consumers to sort out this HD mess the industry has made for them.

Update:
Looks like that leaked picture was of a GeCube card, not of this new Sapphire card (now pictured).
