CONCLUSION

MSI's NX7800GTX-VT2D512E is a very solid and competitive contender in the very best of what NVIDIA currently has to offer. The bundle is what any high end enthusiast has come to expect. So, there are no surprises in the bundle but it isn't lacking with any of the must have items either.

The card itself doesn't deviate from the NVIDIA reference design. It runs no louder than a 7800GTX 256MB card and as cool or cooler thanks to the always improving cooling solution. The extra onboard memory can really stretch its legs at resolutions higher than 1600x1200 and of course provides ever more room for game textures.

• Proven technology with impressive core clock and memory clock speed increases.
