As the title says. I currently have a Sapphire HD7950 Vapor-X(the newest one i presume, there were lots of editions before this and it was bought in 2014 so it should be the newest edition), and I want to buy a backplate for it as I cannot stand the ugly green PCB. I want to know if the card is based on the reference design, so that I can buy a backplate for it that will fit. Thnx :)

The Vapor-X uses a custom PCB. It is not a reference card. It seems it is similar, but most likely any backplates or waterblocks might take additional modifications for them to fit, unless you could find one one specifically made for the Vapor-X.

Thnx! Do you think there are any? There used to be someone making custom backplates for graphics cards over on overclock.net but idk who he is and i can't seem to find him anymore.
