MSI, one of the leading manufacturers of computer hardware products, is also known for its factory overclocked graphic cards. Being an NVIDIA partner means that the company is capable of offering its users some of the best performance graphic cards available on the market. And, if you are to add their overclocking experience, you will deal with some of the best consumer graphic cards money can buy.

The release of NVIDIA's GeForce 9 series of graphic cards has only served to confirm that it still is the number one graphic card manufacturer. Its current flagship, the GeForce 9800 GX2 graphic card, has been designed to improve the visual experience of the company's former flagship, the 8800 Ultra. MSI succeeded in providing users with versions of all GeForce 9 graphic cards, in both OC and standard flavors.

It appears that the company is hard at work in offering to enthusiast users an overclocked version of the mid-range GeForce 9600 GT graphic card. The card will be dubbed GeForce 9600 GT Diamond and will incorporate all of the latest technologies as far as graphic cards go. It will feature a bulky heatpipe-boasting cooling system, which is said to turn off the fan when the temperature of the card is under a certain level.

What's interesting about the card is that it will provide its users with two HDMI and DVI display connectors, which isn't common for mid-range graphic cards. The card also includes an easy overclocking button, which is expected to boost the performance rate of the card. Once pressed, the button makes sure that the card's frequencies will go up to yet unknown values, while the G94 will get more voltage.

With technical specifications it is presumed that the card will bring 2GB of GDDR3 memory. The card is expected to feature the Dr. MOS power saving technology and is said to be showcased at next week's Computex show.
