Guru3d 5850 review,

http://www.guru3d.com/article/radeon-hd-5850-review-crossfire/1

"So the bottom line is really simple: with the Radeon HD 5850 you gain a lot of features and will play your games at really good performance levels. There's very little to dislike here as not only do you have a state of the art graphics card in da house, you'll also have a very wide feature set available which is future proof. If your upgrade path is worth USD 259,- the Radeon HD 5850 comes very much recommended in our book."

 

Performance wise, it seemed to be just a bit better than the GTX 285. Not only that, it costs $259 where the cheapest GTX 285 that I saw on newegg is a BFG (at base speeds) that's $295 after $14 instant savings and $30 mail in rebate and the next cheapest one is $330 after rebate.
