Depends on the raid, a friend ran the numbers for Riven dps and here they are:
"- Whisper of The Worm: 250k~ base damage (doesn't manage to shoot everything due to the time limit either)
- Izanagi + new launcher with full court and spike nades: 325k~ base damage (around 50k to 60k less than before, took into account 2 nagi shots and 10 nades, using time as best as I could)
- Prospector: 350k base damage (on its own, with 2 nade launcher reserves and spending all ammo)
- Xenophage: 400k~ base damage (on its own, 2 mags fired)"

"Xenophage: 648k (4x curse, WoL, minimum average damage) - 758k (4x curse, WoL, maximum damage possible)
Golden Gun: 226k (base) - 366k (4x curse, WoL)
Hunter damage: 1.014mil ~ 1.124mil
Other classes damage (if they have an exotic): 648k ~ 758k
Other classes damage (if they don't have an exotic): 675k ~ 790k
from what I can tell, Riven has around 4mil total hp, of which we only need to deal 90% to trigger the ascendant realm (3.6mil), cus on average we need to do 600k to 700k sword damage to cheese her
with that being the case, and assuming we potentially have 3 hunters with goldie, our damage should be far above what we need to rekt riven"

Overall it would seem Prospector or Xenophage are the way to go for dps these days
