Unfortunately, unless they are specifically mining at NF=16, there's not really a great gauge. Because of the memory requirements of the coin, not all of the shaders can be utilized, so the card is running at a portion of it's full capabilities. The best way to tell is to plug your system into a kill-a-watt or similar device and take an idle reading of the watts, and then take a reading while running various mining configurations. You may find that a slightly lower hashrate (perhaps from a lower lookup-gap) yields a higher hash-per-watt, and that may be of interest to some people. I haven't taken wattage readings since NF=14, but I was measuring about 25W per R7 240 at that time, and ~32W per R7 250.
Not to mention the efficiency of the psu will also have a impact on the system as a whole. 25W from a R7 240 is nice, something tells me they will outshine the 750ti when NF gets even higher as you can get them in 4Gb versions compared to the 750ti with only 2Gb.
