Ok so I own a 6850, I have a coupon for $50 off an order over $250 so I could get a 570 for around $230 after rebates and coupon. (Do not want ati, the 11.6 drivers are trash I get bsods at least twice a day 11.5 is fine, but there are always little bugs, took like 4 months just to fix the pylons in sc2). I game on a 3008wfp, so you would think a 570 would be the card no question, well I play wc3 :p. Sometimes I hit up some wow or sc2 which the 570 would help in but 90% of my gaming is wc3, i'm just sick of the crap ati drivers.

What would you do keep the 6850 or sell it off and go with 570 for $230 after rebates/coupon (even less when you consider the money back from 6850)?
 
You basically sound like you have your mind made up already lol. The 570 is a step up in horsepower btw, the 460 is more comparable to a 6850.
 
Well if you not happy with your current card and can get a better one for a good price why not go for the 570.
