I currently have a HD 7950 should I upgrade to any of the new amd cards?

 

No. Either buy a GPU for Crossfire or wait for next-gen GPUs next year on 20nm (REAL nextgen cause the r9 290x is freakin stupidly bad for a 'new generation GPU'... only titan-esque? lol i want at least +30%!!!).

So... If Jesus had the gold, would he buy himself out instead of waiting 3 days for the respawn?

As far as I know, the R9-270X is exactly a rebranded HD7950.  So unless you're going for gold and jumping up to the R9-290X, an upgrade is hardly worth it.

Not really an exact rebrand, 2GB memory indicate 256bit memory bus.

270X is a 7870 I think. Upgrade? No...

Only worthy upgrade would be the 290X.
