Which one is truly overall better? My understanding is the gtx 460 is slightly better for Starcraft 2, while the 6850 wins out on other games. I've seen the stats linked below, but I want to know which performs better overall, not just on one game per-say.
My main goal is to be able to run high settings on Battlefield 3 when it comes out, as well as get high/ultra on SC2, high settings on Dragon Age and possibly Dragon Age 2 if i decided to get those games, and high settings on steam games like Left 4 Dead that I already own.

Heres what I'm currently thinking for a new machine on 1680x1050:
