The jump from the 7870 to the 7950 is well worth it, you get significantly better performance & more memory for your dollar, the jump from 7950 to 7970 is less significant but none the less it is still there.

I would recommend grabbing a single 7950 or a single 7970 & overclocking them.
The models I'd recommend are the HIS IceQ, Sapphire Dual X & MSI Twinfrozr III.


These results are WITHOUT over-volting.

OCed HIS 7970 @1265Mhz :

I really do have to recommend the MSI twin frozr 3. I just got mine yesterday and I'm at 1100/1350 on stock voltages and never gets hotter than 70c while stress testing!
