Benchmarks

All the benchmarks were run with the same setup. The processor was overclocked to 4.05GHz just to make sure that the CPU isn't the bottleneck on the benchmarks. One must remember that the results that we achieved cannot be directly compared to other systems and the achieved overclocks depend greatly on the card. Unfortunately, due to the fact that I'm still working on rerunning some of the benchmarks on the newer drivers, this card is going to be compared with results that were gotten with older drivers. Some of the results may be a little bit different with the newest drivers, but the differences aren't that drastic in most cases.

3DMark06

In the 3DMark06 the Sapphire 5850 Toxic beats the stock HIS HD 5850, losing only to the 295GTX. Overclocked it even passes the 295 and only loses to the 4870 and 5750 crossfire-sets.

3DMark Vantage

In the 3dmark Vantage the 295 is still the king of the hill, but on the other hand the overclocked 5850 managed to pass even the 4870 crossfire. Again clocking gives a nice gain of 750 points.
