EDIT: Even the clocks are the same, wow.
We need custom versions with an 8 pin or dual 6 pin. Then we will be happy.
Not upgrading my R9 270X until I get something like that with the RX 470/480.
As for the clocks, it seems the 480 reference cooling solution is only really reliable at stock clocks, so they must've just decided against even bothering with it. 'Overclock this weak setup at your own peril' approach. Really, if you want higher clocks, you should wait and get a custom card.
