Get the MSI HD 6850 Cyclone Power Edition, available @ 9.8K in smcinternational.in and theitwares. It is having a highly effective custom cooler and highly factory overclocked and can perform very close to a HD 6870 running at stock speed.

MSI HD 6850 Cyclone Power Edition With Latest Catalyst 11.6 Drivers will be superb.

MSI R6850 Cyclone Power Edition Review - Overclockers Club
This review with old drivers taken on june 5 also performs like sapphire 6950. If it is combined 11.6 it will be 6870 killer.

It cannot be 6870 Killer as the performance of HD 6870 is also increased with the 11.6 Driver.:)

^^ Ya, it can handle MSI HD 6850 without any problem.

Also there is no real world performance improvement for the 5XXX series card with the 11.6 driver.
