The MSI NX7950GX2-T2D1GE videocard's lack of performance
in 3DMark05 is definitely surprising! It performs better than any other single
videocard we've tested, but only by a small margin. In fact we see that two
GeForce 7800GTX videocards running in SLI
scores just slightly higher and the single GeForce 7900GTX only trails by about
1000 points!
