99% of the time my pc will be used for processing 12mp RAW images with Lightroom and editing AVCHD home movies (hobbys - completely non-professional). When choosing a graphics card will i benefit from the extra horsepower in the 5870 over the 5850? Normally i don't mind spending a bit extra since I keep the stuff for a few years and it all evens out over time. However, there is a seriously big price difference between these two cards and so i had to ask the question!

FYI - the rest of my system will be i7 overclock bundle from OCUK.

Cheers,
Dub
