7970(GHz) for the vast majority of games... Look at reviews (on the front page here even).

I would choose HD7970 over GTX670 but GTX680 4GB rather than HD7970 GHz Edition.

If you going to OC the 7970 GHZ is your card.

If the price matters to you, the 7950 is best deal nowadays, with performance around GTX 670 and almost 100$ cheaper.

If you want the best single gpu the money can buy, stand for Radeon 7970 GHz with a nice aftermarket cooler.
