PowerColor calls out MSI.

I know every company has different overheads and everything, but if PowerColor are being honest, not only are they offering stable overclocked cards, but they're also some of the cheapest, most readily available, often have discounts, and have coolers that perform above their weight.

They release some very nice looking cards too. Just goes to show, how cards are overpriced.

Why pay MSI/ASUS all that cash when Powercolor will serve you right for less.

I'd guess it's more because MSI simply don't have the employees due to lunar New year. Or they just CBA.

This will probably benefit powercolor and XFX the most if the latter can do a cheap card.

Either way I'm avoiding it like a dose. And will do so until RTG sorts their act out.

BTW this talk of "having" to flash the card is nonsense. You can do it easily in software. Granted it's quite complicated but it's just power tables like the other Navi cards.

I think what RTG are trying to do is an old AMD trick of giving people an Easter egg, or rather giving them something they perceive as free performance. A gamble, if you will.

They just went about it all wrong.
