MSI N9800GT Review

"I was able to push the MSI N9800GT to its limits and then some it seemed. Even though it comes from the factory overclocked doesn't mean you cant squeeze a little more out of it, and by a little more, I mean a lot more. With results almost reaching that of Gigabyte's 9800GT, this was very impressive indeed. This could be due in part to MSI's attention to use high quality parts since the card came from the factory with a decent overclock. I was very pleased with these results, even if it did make the card run hotter. But the addition of the heatpipe cooling solution keeps the temperatures in check. With increases of 100+ MHz on the GPU core and memory and an almost 300MHz increase in the shader core the MSI 9800GT has got some serious performance potential."
