MSI's card is designed to be competing in the under $150 range. At that prices point the likely competition is the Radeon 4870 512MB card as of today's date. In terms of performance I will be looking at this card versus a 512MB GTS 250, a 4870 512MB, a 4870 1GB to reflect performance against the competition in this price range.
