I believe that even if those cards we to trade blows, which they are not. you should look at performance you assume to get versus price to get best value.
If performance / price does not concern you, then you do not need to discus anything and you just have to grab Titan.
I consider two high end cards worth buying now: HD 7950 / GTX770 (not so much anymore after last AMD's discounts)
And then nicely priced HD 7990, but you may as well get 2x HD7950 which would be equal and much cheaper.

2x 7950 wouldn't be much cheaper than a 7990 over here. What are the prices like in the Czech rep?

You guys are funny the higherarchy of cards mid-mid/high is as such
760/7950 boost these trade blows 760 edges out the win at stock but we know what the 7950 can do with more core. Both are around $250-280
670/vanilla 7970 most of the current non-Ghz 7970's are voltage locked so overclock is very limited. The 670 at reference is a good performed but when overclocked (which most 670's will do a 25% overclock on both core and mem) will give even overclocked 7970Ghz a run for there money. Both of these are in the $300-$350 range
680/7970Ghz/770 the 680 if you can still find one is a very stout card and the 770 is the same with a bit better VRAM the 7970Ghz is just a monster for the money when overclocked and can nip at the heals of the 780 $350-$450
Now I just checked prices and AMD seem to have cut another $30 off of their cards but no free games ATM nvidia is offering one free game with their cards so even though AMD cut the prices they are technically making more profit on these cards than befor.

Sapphire is currently only one who has lowered price here, it's 18500Kc (950$ with tax.) for HD 7990.
MSI HD 7950 OC BE is here for 5700Kc (290$ with tax.). So you can have 3 for price of one HD 7990.
And 7990 dropped price from 24000Kc (1230$ with tax.) while price mentioned for HD 7950 is there for quite few months, so I expect it to drop a bit based on how many of those are in stores.
Edit: btw, that HD 7950 includes: Crysis 3; Bioshock Infinite; Farcry3 : Blood Dragon

I love how this is still debated so much. How do some people not know where the cards sit performance wise by now?
