I have 4x7990 undervoltaged to 0.95 V, 850/1250MHz. It does 156MH/s with 1320W from the wall, So that is 8.46W/MH/s.
you can do better with six 970 = 1020w for 132 megahash, this is 7.7w/mh, and this is also a more cheaper rig
4x7990 = £1100. 6x970 = £1500. So it is more expensive to use the 970. Maybe the 970 will hold value better.
