I'm currently still looking at upgrades from my Radeon HD 5970, and I noticed that a HD 7950 doesn't go for all that much these days. 220 seems quite reasonable for a card of that caliber.
My question is though, is it worth 80 bucks over a 7870 in the present situation? The extra memory bandwidth seems quite attractive, especially if I end up doing Eyefinity across three 1080P monitors. Is this rational poor or is my head in the right place?
Your opinions and advice are greatly appreciated
And specifically, here are the links for the two cards:

Take overclocking into consideration as well. I don't mind cranking those cards up as well, as my HAF 932 case seems to do a phenomenal job of moving air about. If I were to guess, the 7950 has a bit more overclocking headroom since the clock rate isn't starting as high.
