[blockquote]For the most part in the synthetic tests the FX5900 Ultra and the Radeon 9800 Pro performed very similarly. In SPECviewperf the MSI 5900Ultra did much better on the DRV-09 test than the Radeon 9800 card, but worse on the DX-08 and UGS-03 tests than the Radeon 9800. In OpenGL games the MSI 5900 Ultra was as fast as the Radeon 9800 Pro in all tests, though with overclocking at the highest resolution in Jedi Knight II it provided slightly better frame rates. So what do you get with the nBox? A lot, but lets put it in an itemized list.
The nBox itself, The 5900Ultra-VTD256, Manual/warranty card, MSI standard software, WinDVD Creator Plus, Unreal II, Battlefield 1942, Command & Conquer Generals, Aluminum optical mouse, TV In/Out connector, DVI-VGA converter, SVHS cable & MSI case sticker [/blockquote]
A hell of a card and a hell of a bundle! - <a href="http://www.viperlair.com/reviews/video_graph/msi/fx/nbox/
