For those that dont know, MSI's last crop of mainstream ati vid cards were guarenteed great OCers right out of the box and most MSI 9800 Pro's were actualy R360 cores :p:

Finally, the new mainstream cards from MSI arent out, but at least they look better than the reference cards from ATI :rolleyes:

hm.. a 256mb x700xt... probably will cost $230 - $250... considering the 128mb x700xt is suposed to cost a flat $200, as will the 256mb x700pro...

the msi stuff gets a VERY nice bundle though... :D

Compared to the ATI X700 series bundles, I'd call it ultra nice :D :D :D .

As well, MSI's cards look A LOT better than ATi and Sapphire's offerings (from launch) and they will probably clock higher.

Only word of concern would be the fact that they use the old 2.1 versions of Smartshader, Smoothvision, Videoshader and Hyper Z instead of the HD versions the other X700s will come out with and that are standard on the X800.

Other than that, I would prolly end up with the X700 pro 256 MB one as I can clock it to X700XT stock AND its 256 vs X700 $200 you were mentioning only has 128 MB.
