Fire Strike on my new Asus DUAL RX 480 4GB, bad card?

[easye-at]

All,

I did a Fire Strike on my OC'ed 7950 Twin Frozr before I swapped them out. 6,399 score or 7,415 graphics score.

I used MSI Afterburner with a clean install on AMD drivers.

Stock - 9,217 total score.
OCed (CC 1380, MC 1850, CU +66, PL +50%) 9,929 total score or 12,819 graphics score.


I am pretty disappointed as I have read that RX 480 4GB should have stock Fire Strike scores of 13K graphics and above 10k fire strike total score.

This is running with a i5-4670k (not overclocked).

Thoughts? Should I return it and just wait out VEGA? Got it for $120 bucks new.

Thanks!

Disregard.... I am returning it and I went with the XFX GTR Black Edition RX 480 8GB (W/ Hard Swap Fan Kit) for $202.

I've learned sometimes you have to pay to get quality.

The 8GB is definitely worth it, IMO

Just hooked up the XFX GTR. Damn this thing is a beauty with the hard swap white fans.

Beat the highest OC that the Asus Dual did on a heavy overclock. I will have to noodle around to do a slight overclock. Also, look into overclocking my i5-4670k
