this is a no name budget version, you can get the sapphire version off ebuyer for only a few pounds more. Good card , better than the 8600gt but no DX10.

if it was MSI they would almost definately(barring error @ aria) brand and market it as such. From the MSI website, it's a tool that 'optimizes graphics quality, to sharpen characteristic edges and to enhance contrast'. Sounds like some useless thing they might have licensed very cheaply.

Slightly worse than the x1950pro, but from a reputable source and cheaper with google checkout.

Because these cards are more powerful than a PS3 and PC games are half the price of PS3 ones!

This card combined with any processor isnt. But your point is still valid.

Also, i completely agree on the price of games issue.

PC versions of the same Game are far superior in quality and gameplay than their console counter parts, the Tom Clancy series stand out in my mind.
