FINAL RESULT

COMMENT - "MSI Radeon HD 5850 gave a fantastic result against the MSI Radeon HD 5870 and as expected it's performance was less than the MSI Radeon HD 5870. However the most impressive thing about the MSI Radeon HD 5850 is that the performance difference was only 16%. You might be asking yourself why is being 16% slower such a great result? The answer to that is the MSI Radeon HD 5850 is 34% cheaper than the MSI Radeon HD 5870 yet offers all of the features of the MSI Radeon HD 5870. This makes the MSI Radeon HD 5850 a great buy!"
