My 7790 results...

296 mhash (guiminer -v -w 128 -f 1 1200/200)
246 khash (cgminer, tc 8000, w 128, i 17, 830/1500)

I have three and they hardly use any power. I'm running them stacked in a case and the fans are so quiet I can't hear them.

That said, I am looking to build a rig with 2x7950 or some other beastly cards because I want more hash.

All the reports I've seen of the 7790 for Scrypt are very, very bad.. Something in the area of 180 - 230 khash. Given the price, its not a good decision. However, there are multiple users that are reporting ~300 mhash for sha256-based mining. That is pretty darn good. May be worth it if you really want sha256-based mining.

for script based coins I would go with the 7950 because of the faster vram bandwith.

for sha256  2 * 7790 less heat and power

Was on verge of getting 7950s but reading about lower power use etc on 7790 makes me think might be better
off in long run? I think 7950 will do roughly 2x a 7790.

For mining alt coins not BTC
