It will be an unusual article this time. The fact is our testlab got hold of several video cards based on RADEON chips of various series, plus a new card based on GeForce 8800 GTX. But they all came from the same manufacturer - MSI.

As we haven't tested the 8800 GTX card in the highest resolution yet (2560x1600), we'll get down to it now. Our title hints that the only thing GeForce 8800 GTX has from MSI is its label. It's always difficult to speak of vendors as manufacturers, if they only buy video cards from NVIDIA, stick their labels and pack them in their boxes (with individual bundles, of course). I repeat: all GeForce 8800 GTX cards are manufactured by third-party plants, NVIDIA partners just buy ready cards from the latter and claim them as their own.
