GTX 460 vs HD 5850 ?

OK, so after many upgrades for my Windows XP computer, I finally decided to build a new gaming PC. The reason was I wanted (i) play the games with PhysX; (ii) play games in DirectX 10&11. The games I was looking forward to play were Metro 2033 (DX11), Stalker: CoP (DX11), Mirror's Edge 2 (PhysX). The current GTX 460 uses two 6-pin power input... I think 5850 is using only one? -- @~@ Might, Courage, Vision, SINCERITY. / v \ Simplicity is Beauty!

GTX 460 vs HD 5850 ?
And then a doubt occurred to me. I decided that I would still want the
best of the best as I always do, and that I want the colour palette of an ATI/AMD card. So, I am torn. Can the gamers please share their anecdotes, which would help me to decide which card ? If you could wait... Rumors said that AMD was going to release successors to 5xxx series (Southern Islands) no later than this Christmas... -- @~@ Might, Courage, Vision, SINCERITY. / v \ Simplicity is Beauty!

I checked the news, and it appears that the chip for 6XXX will be released this October, and the prices for 5XXX will drop... On the other note, somewhere else I was told to check out HD 5830. Our popular stores do not stock this, so that I have not considered it as an option... but it appears that the card performs on par with GTX 460 and has similar price... and it is ATI... so that I have to do more reading about it (HD 5830, that is)...

Or you might take a look at Radeon 5770 which has quite a good price/performance ratio.... Not a top-notched card, but good enough for average gamers. -- @~@ Might, Courage, Vision, SINCERITY. / v \ Simplicity is Beauty!

I checked the news, and it appears that the chip for 6XXX will be released this October, and the prices for 5XXX will drop... this review may help since it contains 2 games that depend more on graphics power than CPU - STALKER and Crysis - STALKER favours ATI and Crysis runs better on Nvidia. The 5830 uses 2 power cables as does the GTX 460. On the other note, somewhere else I was told to check out HD 5830.
