for gaming only which will over all give me better performance for gaming?

The 5870 will give you better performance.
Here's an article about it with some good benchmark comparisons: AnandTech - AMD's Radeon HD 6790: Coming Up Short At $150

Agreed, 5870 is better...even numbers agree.

if you can get the 6950 its a around $10-$30 more

but just as everyone said the 5870 blows 6950 out of the water on pixel rate
