The MSI card is clocked exactly the same as the ATI reference card we used in the last review of the HD 4850 card so performance should be similar across the board. One note, the Catalyst 8.8 drivers were used in the review while the Catalyst 8.6 were used in the previous review. The performance of the card in Bioshock is a bit interesting in that the ATI cards are faster than the GTX280in this application, but otherwise the performance is as to be expected for this series of card.
