If any of you remember my thread earlier I had decided on a 6850. Bought a new one off ebay and the thing got pulled after I won it(got money back).
So now I'm looking again and I see the 5850 and 6850 for the same price but benchmarks look like the 5850 slightly outperform the 6850. Is there any reason the 6850 would be better?
My choices are:
HIS 6850-------$165 - $20 mail in rebate for $145
Sapphire 6850--$165 - $15 mail in rebate for $150
Sapphire 5850--$150 no rebates.
All look to be new in box products.
EDIT: the 6850 also comes with Shogun 2 which I dont' know anything about so it isn't that great of an offer.
