... Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2/3 and Company of Heroes all run perfectly on maximum settings with framerates holding steady at a more than comfortable 35+ and although Crysis and Grand Theft Auto IV cannot reach their full potential on this card, the results are still good, with a solid 30+ FPS on medium to high settings for both games.
The 5850 supports AMD's "Eyefinity" technology, allowing a single application to be spread across multiple monitors for an even wider "widescreen" appearance, alt...more

Although a couple of years old at this point in time it wasn't that long ago when ATI/AMD's Radeon 5850 was the second most advanced card on the market, behind the Radeon 5870. With both AMD and nVidia having launched higher specification cards for the highly competitive PC graphics market, one could be fooled into believing that the 5850 no longer has anything to offer but they would be wrong.

Here are a couple of downsides: The card although only slots into one PCI slot, it will render two of them as unuseable because of how chunky the card is and of its ports.
