Problems with AMD RX 480

Does anyone else have issues with the AMD RX 480 STRIX O8G GAMING? I've sent it in for RMA multiple times, with good promise on the issues being resolved. However, all returns have come back with no change in the issue, being, terrible performance in games and tons of frame tearing and stuttering. I'm on the recommended driver update by AMD in their Radeon Software, Driver Version 18.5.1, but this doesn't seem to fix my problems. I have used other graphics cards questioning if it was an issue with another component but everything else is fine with a different one. Even a 10 year old graphics card is more stable than this card as of right now.  If anyone has got answers on how to fix this, please help me.

First off, Asus customer support is the worst, despite the high quality of their products.

Additionally, have you compared this graphics card to others to see if you actually are losing performance? Not just cards in general, but other 480s. What does task manager say about GPU usage? Screen tearing is pretty normal, can't really avoid it without turning on vsync or getting a freesync monitor.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

Compared to other Rx 480 benchmarks online I'm getting somewhere between 25-70% of the tested performance. Screen tearing I know can't be avoided but it's happening way more often with this card. Task manager is saying between 80-100% load on the card. And ASUS in their past reports say "Hang or no display under 3D test with all output ports in windows."
