It depends, if you are always going to play the new titles then it will not last you a very long time because graphics change so fast. If you are always going to play the same games over and over again then it will last you forever because it will be "this" good for these games so it will always be the same.

OP, it all depends on what you consider "maxing out" every game and what framerates you consider playable. For example, there are games like The Witcher 2 where you have to disable a setting (ubersampling) on a single 7970 already.
However, if you don't care about stupidly demanding over the top AA settings, you should be OK for at least a year maxing things out. Crysis 3 alpha ran fine on my overclocked 7970. (Single 7970 @ 1200/1800 MHz was getting me 45fps average at 1080p maxed out).
If you don't really care about things like MSAA, the 7970 could be good to max things out for a few years.

it's not about no games can't tax the gpu in its more about to compete with your competitor product. also these company will do something so you get their fastest product. for example amd starts the multi monitor gaming scene with their eyefinity. mid range gpu will not be able to handle all the games with max setting while maintaining 60fps. and in the professional market there is no things such as excessive performance
