Aside from producing motherboard, MSI's other major business is
producing AMD/ATi Radeon graphics cards. As one of AMD's biggest board
partners, they are always ready with launch-day products, and they are
also one of the first two branch off into their own custom PCB and
cooler designs. While MSI's Radeon HD 6950 Twin Frozr III may not be the
first non-reference 6950, it is a very overclockable, well-cooled card,
MSI claims.

 

Aside from the cooler on MSI's top-end Lightning series cards, the Twin Frozr is MSI's highest-end GPU cooler, and they have put their latest Twin Frozr III cooler on the Radeon HD 6950, claiming that it runs up to 21dB quieter and 11C cooler than a reference 6950, which are both huge improvements. The 6950 also includes the full 2GB frame buffer, and comes with MSI's popular Afterburner overclocking software. Finally, MSI claims it has handpicked "Military Class II" components.
