Then again if you are looking to update and already have a 4870 or a Nv260, then you're in the wrong market segment to begin with.
Yeah, the HD5770 is still a very good buy.

So you are not willing to pay $20 more (WITHOUT REBATE) for a STOCK CLOCKED 6850 even if it is on average 19% faster?
You're correct, I read the graph wrong. I'd definitely go with the HD6850, it is a better buy.
