Real good price. Is it the same quality as Nvidia?

MSI is just a manufacturer, and they do make good stuff.

Nvidia makes the reference card then lets MSI or other manufactures spruce them up with different coolers and other bells and whistles . The MSI cooler design is the same one on my 390 and it is very good IMHO. Nvida reference card below.

I suspected as much, but wasn't sure. Thanks for the clarification.

I got one last week (along with AC Syndicate and Black OpsIII).  It is a very good card for the money, so far.  No issues with older games so far.  I've bought EVGA's over the last 6 years, and I can't see any differences with the MSI.  Seems to be the same technologies internally (cooling, etc.).

I'm not ready to recommend it, but I still like it after a week.

I like MSI graphics cards, they always have good cooling using the Twin Frozr.

Yeah man! My PE/OC R6950 is ticking right along and I really gotta push it to get to 70c. Only prob I had with mine, and it's not really a problem, is that it was one of the later batch I couldn't unlock the extra shaders on which would have essentially made it a 6970. Other than that I'm happy with it. When it gets replaced, I'll be looking for another MSI card for sure.
