8000 are 7000 OEM Rehash
7000 are almost 3 years old
7000 also have great memory clocks and core speeds, in a way. The operating frequency is not directly tied to the core speed, just like a CPU, wherein a 5 GHz processor is not automatically faster than a 3.5 GHz processor.
Also, you must have a 7600 or lower, keep in mind that anything below "x700" with AMD is equivalent to anything below "x40" for nvidia, and "x970" is equal to "x80".
EDIT: Also, 7000 series aren't slow. I don't know what nvidia propaganda you've been choking on, but that's like saying that intel processors are bad for dolphin.
