Damn, is it big.  Big, as in, one of those cards that needs it's own Molex connector, to satisfy the heatsink fan's power requirements.  Big, as in the adjacent PCI slot must be vacated to make room.  Big, as in you can see the AGP slot connector start bending the motherboard, supporting the weight.  Screw Enzyte, if this doesn't give you a hard on, then you should check to see if you penis is still attached.

I've not had a chance to try my favorite games on the new hardware yet, but I'm confident the new card will handle all with ease.  Speaking of games, the card comes packaged with a few:  A full copy of XIII, Uru, and Prince of Persia.  Sure, none of them are new, but all of them are worth at least a few minutes of my attention.  Also included is a copy of WinDVD, along with a whole load of other software.  15 discs in all.  No shit, 15.

Lastly, there's a set of component and S-video out cables, a Molex splitter, and an MSI case badge, to let the other LAN partiers know what you're packin'.  Overall, it's one of the most through and complete packages I've ever seen, short of my MSI motherboard.  Other video card producers should take note, as this is the way to package a video card.

I wish I had more time available to me, so I could go into 1UP.com's Forza preview, but alas I do not.  It's well worth the read, as even I, one of Forza's biggest fans, am even more excited for it's release.  Take that for what you will.

BreakmanX (AKA Matthew Nyquist) founded BreakmanX.com in 2001 after having small video game websites since around 1996. Things really took off in September of 2002 when he started The Game Show with Richie. BreakmanX.com quickly developed a tight knit community of gamers as the crew covered major industry events and interviewed top industry talent. Break later went to the University of Southern California's School of Cinematic Arts to get his MFA in Film and TV Production. He worked in Hollywood for seven years with people like Fred Roos (The Godfather Trilogy, Star Wars) and Dane Davis (The Matrix). He's now gone full circle and returned to Kansas to write and direct a feature film (EyesOpenMovie.com), relaunch The Game Show (BreakmanX.com), and spend his day time hours as an tenured Associate Professor.
