How much stronger is a 6850 than a 6770?

I will be getting a GPU soon, and my case and PSU have been changed, now wondering if I should get a 6850 instead of a 6770, money is kind of tight, but if it's so much stronger, then I'll go ahead and spend the extra cash.

I plan to play games like:
RAGE
Skyrim
Battlefield 3
Borderlands 2
The Witcher 2

My native resolution is 1980x1080.

Well for essentially $40.00 bucks more you get a 256 bit memory interface,instead of 128-bit on the 6770,and 960 stream processors instead of 800. I believe the hd6850 is worth the extra money,however you should consider things like warranty, and if you plan to cf in the future, etc....

5770 is just barely enough for HD gaming
6850 is just enough for proper high res gaming


This is what I want to hear, but the 6770 performs just fine in gaming. But I guess ill spend the extra bucks on it.
