Vertex Streaming Hack is no longer a complete advantage Nvidia GPUs have over AMD, as there's an AMD-specific OpenGL extension (AMD_pinned_memory) that neobrain recently reenabled Dolphin's support for that does the exact same thing, except AFAIK you don't have to manually enable this free speedup because it's properly supported by AMD's Windows drivers.
tl;dr, on current dev builds (not 4.0.x, but 4.0-xxx), OpenGL is now just as fast on AMD GPUs with VSH unchecked (or checked? I dunno) as it is on Nvidia GPUs with VSH checked. The 7870 should be fine, though so would a GTX 760 or most other popular high-end GPUs nowadays.
