This is my personal take on the ATI/AMD vs Nvidia Issue...
I prefer Nvidia because I can always install their drivers w/o getting BSOD's or problem with the whole Manager Control Panel... every time I try downloading or installing just the ATI/AMD driver, something goes wrong and I end up having to install the whole catalyst.
My Gaming cards have ALL been Nvidia but I do use ATI/AMD for Office work so I know how both work.
You'll get a thousand opinions on which is best and who's better at support. Sorry but this is like asking what tastes better - Chocolate or Vanilla?
Soon fanboism and FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt) will take over and in the end you still won't get an answer. I say go with what makes you happy - If you like NVidia go with them, If you like ATI go there.
Neither it's just user preference, few months ago my friend was having driver crashes all the time and he uses nvida while I using amd aka ati had no driver issues at all. They both have there ups and downs, neither is perfect.
Anyways I would go with the 7850

Best advice is to go for the best card that fits your budget with any features you are looking for, and don't worry about the drivers as they can both suck equally.

FWIW, I have both on 2 computers. I have a GTX 670 one one and a HD6950 on the other. I have had more problems with Nvidia drivers. I assume that was because the 670 was new and had to wait for mature drivers. I have had no problems recently. I have never had any problems with AMD drivers and have had a few AMD cards. My honest opinion, there is little to no difference. Buy whichever card that will give you the best performance. That's what I do. You can have driver issues with either.
