MSI Computer may face widespread condemnation from at least a number of end-users who had acquired certain models of the company’s graphics cards presuming they were based on NVIDIA GeForce 6800 GT graphics processors only to find out that what they had bought was a lower-speed GeForce 6800 product.

A Germany-based web-site TechPowerUp claimed late last week that at least some of MSI’s retail PCI Express x16 graphics cards sold as NVIDIA GeForce 6800 GT products had the GeForce 6800 graphics chips on them. The original NVIDIA GeForce 6800 GT graphics chip has 16 pixel processors and 6 vertex processors, whereas the GeForce 6800 graphics processing unit employs 12 pixel and 5 vertex processors, thus, delivering lower performance.
