So I mainly wanna know the differences and maybe get a reliable benchmark because I cant find one between the 7870 ghz edition and the 7950. Both of them stock on anandtech have about a 2-5 fps difference. So i wanna know what the ghz edition looks like as far as performance.

7950 has the higher Memory Bus. It can clock higher in most cases and has higher memory amount. An underbinned 7970, as some might say.

the 7950 will be much faster as it has more overclocking headroom which should bring it near to stock 7970 performance.

Get the newer AMD cards. You can get the same performance from a price that is a step down easily.
