    I was being sarcastic, but whatever.

    There's not really a point in putting the 5850 through this test. It's not as powerful as the 5870, so the difference between the X58 and P55 would be even less.

    I think his point was that while it's great to see performance of an ultra-high end setup, we're more interested in seeing a review of the more affordable HD5850.

    I was being sarcastic. I know this had to take a lot of time and a lot of us asked for it. My statement did not go over the right way. I already sent an email to Gary stating as such and hoping they had banned the Toms guy by now but it appears they are letting him trash another article.
