7850 is the better of the two, it's worth the $30 difference.

i'd recommend spending the extra $30 for the 7850

ok thank you so much and why does it only have 7 reviews? is it because its not as old as the 6870

^i'd ignore newegg reviews unless you can't find one on another website (youtube, here, google)

And it overclocks pretty well too. Enjoy.

HD 7850 is an easy choice

The 7850 is one of those card where If you had a $500 budget, it'd be the first thing I would pick (Albeit reference of course). Its just such a good card.

that's pretty expensive for a $500 budget
