Does it really though?
What do you mean great is the games set at max settings with 60+ fps.
I need my 670SLI to achieve that on 90% of my games so I doubt you get that on a 7950. Not saying that's what you meant, some people are happy with medium settings and average fps. Me personally like to play the game how its meant to be, only problem with that is, it can get expensive:p

2 x 2nd hand 670s SLi may jyst be a little above the £400 depending on models.

Single card 680/770/780.

No idea about AMD at this point. maybe 2 x 7950s.

Or wait to see what AMD`s new cards are out soon.
 
Game at 1440 on a single 670 on a 27" dell,not one problem,card is a gigabyte windforce 3x and runs everything without a hiccup.

I upgraded from a evga 580 3gb classified and never looked back.

+1 for the above I have only had mine a few days and I game at 2560 x 1080 everything is playable at highest settings and have had it upto 1368 on the core, plus its very quiet etc :)
 
1440 is lovely, but I do prefer 120hz for gaming so i stick with 1080. the OP will have to get used to those loud fan noises when pumping at high settings also, eh eh.
 
I used to run games at 1440p on an AMD HD6950 with 2GB, everything was maxed (depending on the game) but often with AA turned down or off (AA kills AMD cards performance). It would not run 60 FPS much of the time but frame rates were generally ok. When I ran GPU utilisation logs it was rarely above 80% and often around 60% so the system was being bottlenecked elsewhere (my investigation pointed to the PCI-e bus rate. Another thing to note is that the HD6950 could do that at less than 40% fan and still maintain acceptable temperatures, so it was pretty quiet.
Recently I upgraded to the system in my signature and that keeps to very reasonable frame rates, generally above 70 FPS and mostly over 100 when I allow it to. It has everything on max including AA and runs very quietly.
