Looking at the graphics scores (not overall) on Fire Strike it would seem the RX 480 seems to benefit a lot, if not more so from memory overclocking than core overclocking. Considering these are modest core clocks but 2250 MHz base clock for the GDDR5 chips:

1320 / 2250: http://www.3dmark.com/fs/9200319
Just a theory, I believe if AMD could have launched Polaris 10 with better power delivery, better cooling, +100 MHz core clock and 10 Gbps GDDR5X, the results of Polaris versus R9 Fury / Nano / GTX 980 would have been very different versus the present.
