why would anybody buy this when they can just buy 4-5 7950s and get even more hasing power for the same price

I bought it for gaming, the $400 bundle i only got with 1 card (planned on 2 bundles), and to satisfy my curiosity.   the card is not the most efficient for hashing, however it is pretty power and space efficient.

All in all I would go with a 7870xt Sapphire or 7950 sapphire or 7970 Sapphire.

update:  i just unboxed and am testing a 7990 Sapphire Malta.   This card runs cooler than my 7990 Malta Gigabyte Malta...significantly and I don't even have to undervolt it.   Not only that it came with the 8 free games (code was inside box).   The gigabyte 7990 that i got had no game codes and the box was opened previously.  I am filing a dispute with newegg right now.  Overall i am quite surprised as both 7990 Maltas are reference design...yet the performance and GPU core temps vary significantly.
