Hey fellow members!

I have a question on which I want opinions instead of having a technical information overload for dummies.

I recently bought new components to build a brand new computer under a certain budget. I wasn't planning on getting a great video card for it but eventually settled for a pretty good ASUS Radeon HD6850 for 140$ in Canadian money. Not long after, I found out I could get a Sapphire Radeon HD6870 for 20 extra bucks which in my opinion is not too too bad of a deal. It's not too late to go make the exchange so my question is:

In your honest opinion, is the performance difference worth 15% extra in price?

I will likely keep the ASUS but I just wanted to see what people thought about it. I bought 4 Sapphire cards before and had issues with only one but on the other hand, I've never owned an ASUS. I just have a feeling it would not disappoint.

Blast away with all you got: graphs, pie charts, comparison charts, specs... but just plain old text will do the trick too!

Thanks in advance for your comments!
