I would go for the Sapphire. As to why well I guess it would be that I have never had any problems with Sapphire AMD/ATI cards infact every Sapphire card I have ever got is still running in a PC and that is going back as far as my Sapphire HD 3850(AGP). So between friends and family I have a 3850(AGP) 4850 5850 Crossfire 6950>6970 and in my two AMD rigs a Crossfire HD 7950 and the second one a Crossfire HD 7970. Really I feel Sapphire is just the best when it comes to AMD/ATI cards.

But you probably never tried out the RoyalAce, and that is just purely subjective.
The RoyalAce seems to have way higher clocks, and it's even unlocked to overclock it way more, while the Sapphire is locked.
So can anyone give me some objective info?

I know for a fact, the Sapphire 7970 has a much better cooler than the Club3D's Coolstream cooler, since it uses a vapor chamber to dissipate the heat from the heatsink of the GPU. Go for the Sapphire card.

But I've heard the Sapphire is locked, so you can't overclock. And the Club3D has better specs.
Don't...
