I believe that MSI has come to realize that consumers do not solely look upon performance when searching to buy a high performance video card - many consumers want extreme performance, an aesthetically pleasing card, extra features, and bundles of software, all at an affordable price. The MSI Geforce4 Ti4200 fits this bill perfectly, from its aesthetic value and great performance, to its slew of bundled games and utilities.

The box looks sleek, featuring a 3d rendered image of a face, as well as "TV-Out DVI-I" and "Free Dual VGA Support" advertised on the side of the face. Turning the box over, we find that there is a free bundled DVI to VGA connector, 7 in 1 games collection, MSI Utilities, as well as 3 full retail games.

To my surprise, the image on the back of the box was of a card with a green PCB (Printed Circuit Board) - this was not the case with my card though. The background is red on the back of the box, and the card must have needed the contrast to make it stand out. I have not heard of anyone receiving a card from MSI that had a green PCB, the bright red seems to be a favorite of both MSI and computer enthusiasts alike.

The bright red PCB is unique, giving the card an aesthetic appeal.

Let's see what this little piece of red lovin' has to give us.
