Can I ask you what games you play? I was considering getting the 5770 so I need some reviews on it.

I hear the gtx 460 is a lot better then the 5770 but I don't really want to spend too much more on a card.
 
i play all games crysis and all cod games i can max all games but i want a big fps jump i might crossifre overall its a really good card on crysis 2 i had no fps lag and had 45- 60 fps at highest but on homefront it kina freezes but thats due to optimization of the game

The 460 is quite abit better. The 5770 is more or less equal to a 4870.
 
I play all games with the 5770 on max at 1900 x 1080 (60FPS+) so I am possible suggesting it may not be your GPU limiting your gameplay. What are your other hardware specs including OS ?
 
AMD athlon ii x4 640
AVC Global Star (cooler{very good cooler}))
Kingston 1333 DDR3 2gb x2
ASRock 870 extreme3
Pioneer dvd burner
Sapphire HD 5770 1gb OC 960/1370
620W Sea Sonic 80 plus bronze

Well, that depends on whether you are asking about the performance or the price equivelent. Performance wise I can't say, but price wise the 6850 is currently the closest amd match. If you're going to get nvidia, this is kind of an odd question to ask.
