I voted HD5850 because I play at 1920 x 1080 and like to slap on the eye candy :) 

I guess if you can live without max settings and/or your resolution is lower then a HD5770 would be fine.

Although if you live in America then a GTX470 is a pretty good deal.

Yep, as you can see from the above posters, it depends on what monitor you have, what games you play, and how you expect it to perform. Both are excellent cards can good for the money.

1680x1050 resolution or below ---> 5770
above 1680x1050 res ----> 5850 or if you already have a 5770 add a second !!
Would be what I would do if being practical (both from a performance and cost perspective) and trying to stay on a budget !

I don't believe in cards that cost more than $200. Therefore I choose HD5770 but since I wont buy a card just yet (have HD4890 = $180 when bought) I might buy a HD5850/70 when they drop down to $200.
Staying with the 200$ limit has allowed me some good game play through the years.
