The Sapphire HD 5850 does not disappoint. It's one step down the performance ladder and it gives the GTX285 a run for its money. It does not always come out on top in that contest, but in 26 out of 40 tests the results show the HD 5850 to score higher either in frames per second or total score. That's better than 50% of the tests! When you consider the fact that this card retails for 260 bucks or 100 dollars less than the GTX 285, the former heavyweight single GPU champ takes a beating in the price vs. performance battle. At this price point and level of performance it's hard to argue against this card as a good upgrade choice from the 4XXX series if cost is a concern. You get great performance!!! :) Overclocking Performance Cool running Price Size Eyefinity DX11 40nm
