The 5870 has more raw power to it, but it's architecture is older and it's pretty much reached the peak with driver updates. The 6870 is newer with improved DX 11 capabilities, but it has less raw power to it.

Personally, i'd go for the 5870 if it's for the same price.

Another vote for the 5870.
Same price and a bit faster makes it an easy choice.
