The Final Word

The MSI GeForce 8800 GTS 512MB is one of the better mid-high performance cards available for its price and fills the gap between the current generation of high-end cards and the eagerly awaited series that's soon to come from NVIDIA. The increased clock speed may not make a huge difference, but it may just be enough for some.
