Jonathan Martini has posted a review of the MSI NX7800GT-VT2D256E graphics card:

The MSI NX7800GT-VT2D256E is a solid NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GT-based graphics card. While it doesn't stray from the reference design, MSI has supplied a diverse software bundle, which includes the acclaimed Chronicles of Riddick game along with a decent setup of VIVO cables and multimedia center software.

The graphics cards performed admirably throughout the entire test period and is capable of respectable increases in core and memory clock speeds. We were able to reach 480MHz on the core and 1.12GHz on the memory, which increased performance by 5-10%. And this was within the confines of a closed case without any additional cooling or modification performed on the graphics card.

Great review, Jonathan! It was a really good read and very informative. I love the GeFORCE 7 series more the more I read about it. :)

Very nice review! I just purchased one of these myself. I have to say I am very pleased with the OC on this one. I installed the card, installed coolbits, and ran the "Detect Optimal Freq." ... I couldn't believe the results 546 MHz core and 1215 MHz mems. I think that must be some type of record for stock cooling. I ran a couple of passes of 3Dmark05 with no artifacts at all and got a heck of a score for a 7800GT and 3000+ 754socket 7840 3DMarks! (http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm05=1607006) I have turned the clocks down to 475/1100 because I thought it probably wasn't safe to run those clocks for extended periods without modding the cooling but these MSI NX7800GT's rock! I would definitely recommend this card. I can't wait till I can afford another for my SLI motherboard!
