id say it depends on brand, but a 260 isnt really a great card by any means, if it saves you almost $200 over retail for a 5870 and its there, id almost certainly grab it. if it was a xfx id definatly grab it

*dang me, glasses on, yeah do it xfx 5870 im assuming comes with lifetime warranty transfer for you right ?

Even if the 260 is a good brand card, the 5870 is so much you will be saving about $100-$200 and also the 5870 is a very hard card to find still available now.

if you're in the market and you have the means, do it (w/ warranty transfer from XFX).

With the 5870, you will still have at least one Lifetime Warranty, maybe both.
