The two-card Radeon HD 5770 has been deliberately graphed-up against the Radeon HD 5870. The GeForce GTX 260 SLI combination should be compared against the GTX 295 and, across to AMD, to HD 5770 XF and HD 5870.

We're impressed by how close dual-GPU HD 5770 gets to the range-topping card's performance, boosting single-card numbers by 71.6 per cent at 1,920x1,200, but NVIDIA leads the way here.
