It is a bit over priced for the 7970, This Sapphire model is a bit more trustworthy and cheaper http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202008 it has a slightly slower clock speed, but nothing that cant be improved easily, and definitely not 50 dollars difference. As for the card itself it is a very good model for amd.

Yes, but the other has a really good cooler and its a ghz edition. Furthermore, it's form HIS. So what do you think, does it worth the extra 150$ ?

Its not worth the extra for the HIS, not even close, Sapphire is a slightly better brand for gpus and the GHz edition is slightly misleading. It only has a 50 MHz higher clock speed. You wont be noticing a difference with that small of a jump.With boost on the Sapphire reaches the GHz range and with very little OC knowledge you can add 300 Mhz on to that.

But I have a rampage IV extreme, I mean 4xHIS 7970 GHz are not like four cards of this sapphire model ! What do you think?

At that point the HIS would be slightly "better" but noting noticeable, only problem is when you get that high of tier cards in that numbers the 50MHz wont be even noticeable. Also that would be 200-250 dollars more overall. So in both cases the Sapphire would be a better bet.
