I have an X800 Pro and it gives excellent performance.On Far Cry it never goes below 40fps with 4xAA and 8xAF. 94% of the time it's higher than 65fps.

2800+
768MB DDR 400

I've got an HIS X800 Pro IceQ

Very nice card - very quick, handled everything I have thrown at it so far. It's definitely held down by my CPU (Athlon XP 3200) - it's that quick!

I've used FireStar's GT, and it's also an amazing card. It's a bit more expensive, and tougher (well, impossible ATM) to get in SA. Overall it's slightly quicker (average FPS), however it's lowest FPS seems to be a bit lower in many situations, meaning you are more likely to notice jerkiness in game.

There's nothing wrong with the MSI cards - have sold a couple. FYI, the majority of X800's come out of the factory, and currently all cards use the reference PCB design, so their are no manufacturer specific differences, beside cooling. Other brands in SA ATM (in terms of X800's) are Sapphire, Gigabyte and HIS - PM me if you are interested. Gainward 6800 NU's are available, and the first 6800 GT's and ultras in are likely to be Gainwards, or Jason's cards (BFG and PNY). Other brands that will most likely come in over the next few months are Gigabyte, Leadtek (Firestars's card is a Leadtek, btw) and AOpen.
