27 is what i see people hitting with 470s after BIOS modding, seems 480s do 28-29ish. It's kind of hard to tell for reference purposes reading threads here because it's not always clear exactly what model someone has and/or what mods they've done, plus I'm sure some is bragging about winning the ASIC lottery.

Anyway, I wanted to make sure i'm clocking in the right neighborhood since I've seen my total shares dropping while the profitability is through the roof, just wondering how much more I could push them realistically without spinning up more rigs.

Yea you right people do talk nonesense. Well I have a saphire HIS icy2 480rx 4gb. I get 21.5 at 70 degrees and it is stable as stable gets I mean it sits there at that speed and temoreturr for weeks no issues at all. Just stock everything. I do not want to oc as I'm afraid to damage something and I do game on this occasion so when I'm done gaming I mine. St stock it is handling this 24/7 mining no problem at all. Do you think an OC is worth it ?

Sapphire reference RX 470 4GB is pulling a hair under at 22Mhash (I have 2 of them in this rig) out of the box for me, -54mv, 1200Mhz core 1750 memory 0 power limit in Afterburner adjustments and no BIOS mods on a VERY warm day in a VERY warm room.

24 is the right ballpark for most 480 models (higher for the 8GB 470 and 480 models than the 4GB due to faster RAM) that have not been BIOS modded.

Brand of memory seems to have some effect as well, especially on how well it can take advantage of BIOS modding.

Try running the 16.10.1 WHQL driver, some of the later "Relive" bloatware junk had a significant NEGATIVE effect on hashrate (as did a few of the early 16.x series drivers).
In my testing, any of the 16.9.x and 16.10.x driver versions had the same hashrate as the 15.12 where the card would work on both, but I prefer the "extra testing" that goes into the WHQL versions and *usually* makes them more stable.

470 and 480 is like the same. I'm getting what you getting on your 470 pretty much exactly the same speed at 70 degrees. How high could it go ? Should I OC ?
