See Tom's gamer GPU test link below. The 6850 should be better for gaming.

Does this mean you already have a crossfire motherboard? If your board is crossfire only it wouldn't make sense to go with Nvidia cards. The GTX 460 is Nvidia's competition for the 6850, the 550ti is to compete with the 5770/6770, If you are seeing a 550ti for $150 it's a bad deal.
