{mosgoogle}The hot folks at Hot Hardware has posted up a review of the MSI RX1800XT-VT2D512E. This is one hot looking video card. I could use one of those right about now. Need to call MSI to send me one. Ya right.

The MSI RX1800XT-VT2D512E was a relatively strong performer. Due to the fact that its stock clock speeds are identical to ATI's reference cards, the MSI RX1800XT-VT2D512E performed exactly like an ATI built Radeon X1800 XT. Generally speaking, the RX1800XT-VT2D512E was faster than a 256MB GeForce 7800 GTX, especially when anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering were used, but the Radeon X1900 XTX and 512MB GeForce 7800 GTX were faster overall. The X1900 XTX outpaced the MSI RX1800XT-VT2D512E across the board, as did the 512MB GeForce 7800 GTX in all but a handful of tests.
