FINAL RESULT
COMMENT - "MSI Radeon HD 5970 gave very good performance against the MSI GeForce GTX 295. MSI Radeon HD 5970 finished 15% faster than the MSI GeForce GTX 295. The MSI GeForce GTX 295 is currently the fastest video card Nvidia has available but it was unable to win even a single Benchmark against the MSI Radeon HD 5970. The MSI GeForce 295 came close to the MSI Radeon HD 5970 in a couple of the older game benchmarks but never beat the MSI Radeon HD 5970. Nvidia has nothing to challenge the might of the MSI Radeon HD 5970 so my recommendation is 10/10 for the MSI Radeon HD 5970 and the Ultimate Hardware Best Buy Award!"

MSI RADEON HD 5970 SCORES 10/10!
