The cost of using tantalum capacitors have made them prohibitive in motherboard design. It looks like MSI is using a generous splattering of them on the new Big Bang XPower. Q1 in 2010, and it already looks like we're supposed to spell "promising" with the "I" before the "M."

Although the GeForce GTS 250 SLI tandem has the best average speed in three out of the four resolutions, being especially faster than the GeForce GTX 285 and Radeon HD 4850 X2 at 1280x1024. However, its bottom speed is no higher than 20fps. In other words, the SLI tandem cannot ensure smooth gameplay in every scene, even though is close to doing that.
Take note that the gap between the GeForce GTS 250 SLI and Radeon HD 4850 X2 shrinks from 25% to 8% as the resolution grows up, and the dual-chip card from ATI is even ahead at 2560x1600.
