The reference RX 480 GPU has spotted online with specifications. Although the specifications have been removed later, we do see the stock clock core speeds at 1288MHz. All the RX 480 uses the AMDs reference style blower cooler, which looks similar to Fury X aesthetic.
Below little specifications difference between older R9 290X and RX 480 GPUs, which should have similar gaming performance. We previously posted about overclock ability of RX 480 reaching 1.5Ghz on the core, which should give a nice performance boost.
