The two heavyweight cards slug it out for first place. That said, there's not a bad performance in this group. NVIDIA's card appear to be more reliant on pure clock speed.

Nothing much to separate the MSI FX 5950 Ultra from the ATI Radeon 9800 XT. Kind of like comparing Intel and AMD's CPUs, they're both good.
