I got the card from here:
http://www.tonymacx86.com/graphics/...xx-graphics-testing-thread-24.html#post579428
Whenever I come across a working card that I haven't added yet, I add it. I get a lot from that thread and this one, which is why there are more in the list than are posted in this thread.
And yes, you are correct in saying that since the Device ID is already in that list, the card will work out of the box.
The device ID thing is just to clarify which IDs in the kext correspond to which kind of card.
In this case, see how the list currently only says HD 7800 next to the ID 0x679E1002? That means we know that ID belongs to some kind of 7800 card, but not specifically which one (and it's not a 7850 because 7850s need a kext hack). Because of dollyriva's post, we now know that it's the 7870 Tahiti LE-based card. Looking back, I really could have phrased it better... (EDIT: Fixed.)
On another note, may I add a link in the main list to your post about the login script to automatically run dwbr's screen rotating trick?
