RX480-31.8HighPower.rom         125w   31.5mh
RX480-30MhOTBLowEnergy.rom  100w   30.5mh
480LowEnergyOK.rom               85w     29mh
RX480Mod.rom                        105w    28mh

the 480LowEnergyOK.rom is the most efficient

That is what GPU-z says, but not real power...

of course real power is more. just something to compare. i saw my plug on the wall and could also see the raises in watt. from 320 it even reached 400. its better than nothing. dont like it? dont see it Tongue
my power meter on the wall confirmed that the lowest power usage come from 480LowEnergyOK.rom while maintaining 29mhash

GPUz reports the power used by the graphics chip itself.  A watt meter is able to report the power (delta) of the whole card: graphics chip, memory chips, VRMs, etc.

Each memory chip probably consumes about 5W of power or so.  These cards probably have 8 or 16 chips on them.
