Ok, so it looks like everyone else is getting approximately the same hashrate difference for R9 390 vs. RX 480. I get 260 H/s and 190 H/s respectively with mine (both 8 GB). So my question is, is it expected that the 480 hashrate is only 73% of the 390? Is it because of the lower power consumption on the 480? With every other miner/currency so far, my 480s hash at about the same rate as my 390s. Is this something new with v8.0?
The R9 390's have more memory bandwidth (384 bit i believe) which makes them ideal for the Zcash mining algorithm. RX 480's only have 256 bit.
