You can achieve easy with and 480X over 200 H/s.
What you need? Not the 15.12 Driver
A newer one. Runs stable for me.
And a custom MOD BIOS (I used them for ETH, also increase the ZCash Hashrate).

Because a good custom RX 480 8G are the same price that R9 Fury
If I remove the power limit and let the card go for 200W, they are hashing to 245-265 H/s depending of the cards
R9 Fury are also often better in others algo (32MH/s ETH + 800 SC at stock without powerlimit)
as I said, mine are doing 225-230 H/s with a 120W restriction (1.9 H/W)
If your RX 480 can achieve the 180 H/s it seems they do with 95W at wall (not on GPU-Z), then RX 480 and Fury will have the same efficiency. And even with that, I'll pick the Fury for the higher perf.
I don't know why people are bashing R9 Fury, they are really way cheaper now.
In my country a Custom RX480 8G and Sapphire R9 Fury Tri-X are sold the same price.
As you said, may the PCI-E connectors need can be an argument if your PSU don't have enough.
But IMHO, the power consumption of a Fury is not an argument to bash them
Youre kidding right ? the non nano Fury cards have a TDP of 300watts, the nanos have a TDP of 220 and will pull more than that amount when going full bore, I have some Nanos so i know how much actual watts they draw. The 4X cards have a TDP of half that and use about half the amount of power of the furys, 14nm proccess will do that.
setting a limit on the sofware of 120W does not stop the card from drawing far more power when it is mining, check your wattmeter and your power bill for your REAL power draw.

a fury has a higer TDP than a 290x there is no way you will convince me a fury uses 120 watts to get 225 h/s when a 290 non X uses 200 watts to do 200 h/s
I have 40+ Fury (Air) and depending on the Manufacturer I am getting 225-235 h/s using as low as 110 watts at the wall. The average is about 227 h/s and using 115 watts.
In addition my measurements are done by hooking up 1 card and mining and measuring at the wall and then hookinh up 2 and mining and measuring again. I do it this way to account for any additional wattage used by the system when mining.
I can easily get them up to 245-255 using about 150-160 watts and when using 225+ I can push them to 270+ h/s.
All of this is done with a modified bios- obviously it is not using a simple Bios Editor.
I have rigs of 7 Fury doing almost 1600 h/s and pulling around 900 watts at the wall.
In regards to the comment about setting the power to 120, I agree it does nothing to change the actual power draw (other than make the GPU unstable)
