Well they will both be great cards. But I'd go for the X850xt pe though because its slightly faster. The x850 is always a bit ahead of the 6800 ultra.

do a google on both cards, check benchmarks, there really is not "much" difference between them
a few fps at most. The ATI card will have better (marginal) image quality though.

Honest you best bet is just to google and then decide.
