How do these differ other than their price ?

Is it just because of who manufactures them or do they all differ in specifications or is it a bit of both ?

I would only crossfire if you have a high res monitor above 1080p, and then my choice would be 7950 xfire

I don't get what the majority of people have against 7970s , why does everyone recommend 7950s ?

The MSI HD 7970 Lightning is the one I want, but ocuk just raised the price. I do want this card the most , but don't know If I can afford it I'll have a look on the net for the cheapest. Unless ocuk drop price again?

Because they're practically the same as eachother, but for quite a bit less money.

Price wise it makes sense to go for the 7950's but people don't consider if the OP isn't restricted price wise and can afford to spend the extra and get the top models.

I think I will stick with Nvidia , they are the only graphics card I have ever used.

Pointless really for that reason. Nvidia are behind in the cost/performance by a bit and the performance difference with its AMD counterpart is absolutely minimal with the cards going *** for tat.
