17 out of top20 single vantage are from msi.
Sometimes hwbot can be decietful I think. Especially with the highest of high end gear. The sample size is naturally going to be very small in one hand due to cost, and in the other the top end gear is what the manufacturers are going to be pushing out to the sponsered guys. You end up with a large proportion of the results from sponsered clockers who got to bin who knows how many samples before you see what they posted??

I think what Witchdoctor is trying to say is that for the price premium and the crazy amount of marketing (ln2 jumpers and whatnot) that the norm should be that the cards perform better than most ref cards. If they didn't market them so hard with hand selected samples to advertise their dominance over ref cards, then it would be no harm, no foul.
