5850 or 6870 ?

I own both and the 6870 is quite a bit faster in most of my games. Get the 6870!
 
Agreed 6870 is better for the same price. I have seen a few 5850's in the $175 range lately after rebate which is a great deal though.
 
6870 for all the reasons stated above plus the additional performance you'd gain if you were to add a second card, versus doing so with a 5850.
 
Good choice on the 6870. It performs between a 5850 and 5870 so it would be the logical choice if they could be both had at the same price.
