AMD RX 470 with 275k PPD at 120 watts for $200
PPD is just a guess and watts are TDP and price is from newegg.

It runs continuously at the 1266Mhz boost clock, and a temperature of 78-81C.

Maybe you want to make a new thread with that your problem and post the logfile there so we can check if everything is setup right?
FahBench shows the raw power comparison only in ns/day. The PPD are a different not linear but more exponential curve which means if one gpu has double the FahBench value than another gpu then the PPD could be 3 times as high just as an example. That is because folding@home gives more points for a work unit if you return it faster.
Because of this users in the forum post their PPD for a GPU in a range like 250-300k PPD depending on work unit. So they monitor e.g. 10 work units and get the min and max or they take the average value, e.g. for your RX470 the post says around 280k PPD which means e.g. 250-300k PPD

Yes. Of course it isn't doing any more work than before, it's just that more points are given for units returned more quickly, but only if you have a passkey. This is the Quick Return Bonus (QRB). Points are intended to recognise science value, and a quick return is valuable to the project, so more points. However the exponential system used is being rather swamped by the newer, faster GPUs claiming vast scores. It will be politically difficult, but I would not be surprised to see a different QRB scheme soon.
