Just google a review for the 5850 and you should see it compared to the 57xx series.

Kind of what i meant, 5700-series was EXPECTED to be called 6700-series but AMD thought it would be less confusing (apparently)naming the 57xx-series the new 68xx series instead.
Mind u, im NOT saying 6850/6870 is rebranded old 5700-series card. The new 6800 is however the new low/midrange cards and is NOT better than the 5850/5870 respectively.
The successor of 5850/5870 is 6950/6970
Either way, the poster i replied to seems to think his 5850 is way worse than the 6850, wich its not.
