Error on your bench list : 6850 is better than 6870
The results are an average across 1000s of samples for these popular cards.
There was a couple of silly results for the 6850 that was lifting it's average result by a few points, which I have now deleted. But they are still going to come out being near identical in the charts (when they update overnight).
Given that the charts are made up of averages from 100,000s of real machines, you can't assume they are accurate down to the last few percentage points. Even though in this case the video card will be (mostly) the same, the CPU & MBs will all be different.
I say most the same because even the video card is a mix of card from different vendors, different hardware revisions and different device drivers. (In this case there was a AMD variant and ATI variant of the cards).
