FINAL RESULT

COMMENT - "The XFX Radeon HD 4850 managed to edge out the EVGA GeForce GTS 250 for a slim 1% victory which was unexpected considering the XFX Radeon HD 4850 has a 15% lower clock speed and 5% lower memory speed. However the XFX Radeon HD 4850 does have some advantages and these are the 800 Pixel Shaders and DirectX 10.1 Support. The XFX Radeon HD 4850 was impressive running the latest demanding games like Fall Out 3, Left for Dead, Race Driver Grid and Far Cry 2 at very good performance. The performance between the XFX Radeon HD 4850 and EVGA GeForce GTS 250 was usually close that the only difference is going to be the price. The XFX Radeon HD 4850 is over 8% cheaper than the EVGA GeForce GTS 250 which makes the XFX Radeon HD 4850 great value for money and this is the reason I am recommending the XFX Radeon HD 4850 !"
