your dual 6950 are about the performance from a single 7970 or a 680/770 on the green side. If you really want to upgrade, only the 780 or the Titan will show improvement on the FPS/details and resolution that you can run in single card setup...
You can consider the 7990 (non official from AMD but Powercolor make a model of this) or the 690, they're both at the top list of the GPU performance but it's SLI/Crossfire on the same card and it's not cheap !!
If you still up to do a dual card setup, 2 7970 or 2 770 would be faster than both solution and a bit cheaper (2-300 bucks less in total) as Titan, 690 and the 7990 are around 1000$ and the 780 is 7-800$ (but 2 770 or 2 7970 will beat all these cards for the same price as the 780...)
Basically 2 cards will be 7990 or 690 performance like (maybe a tad faster and cooler too) but for 2-300 bucks less
PS: i wouldn't upgrade now as dual 6950 are very powerfull cards and the AMD 8000 will be out this fall, i would wait to see the 8000 as it would surely be a lot faster than current 7000 and maybe faster than titan too...

Spawnkiller, AMD released an official 7990, just to let you know.
To the OP: 2x7970, an official 7990, 2x7950, a 690, a 780, a Titan, and 2x760 are your best bets.

Single card is better at the start. A second card is a lot like an extended warranty on the gaming performance. If single card, get a 780 or Titan.

Single cards that are more powerfull than your actual setup: 7990, 690, 780 and the Titan, only that will be an upgrade as all the rest (7970, 680/770) will be within 10% difference of your actual setup and that would be throwing cash just to cancel 1 card...
the 780 is the cheaper of the lot and can be found at 700$, the 3 others are around 1000$...
i would consider the 780 and the Titan as they're single GPUs comparing them to the 690 or the 7990 that are dual gpus on 1 card
