COMMENT - "The Sapphire Radeon HD 5870 puts in a great performance beating the XFX Radeon HD 4890 by 31% with Street Fighter IV."

FINAL RESULT

COMMENT - "The Sapphire Radeon HD 5870 puts in one amazing performance after another to easily beat the XFX Radeon HD 4890 by 30% overall. The reason I am testing against the XFX Radeon HD 4890 is because that was the highest performing single GPU Video Card from ATI until the Radeon HD 5870 arrived. In a future review we will be comparing the Sapphire Radeon HD 5870 to the Radeon HD 4870 X2 which is the highest multi-GPU Video Card from ATI. Right now the Sapphire Radeon HD 5870 is the best DX11 Video Card you can possibly purchase so deserves the 10/10 Ultimate Hardware Best Buy!"

SAPPHIRE RADEON HD 5870 SCORES 10/10!
