I have an ASUS ROG Strix Radeon RX 470 graphics card (https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-Strix-Radeon-Graphics-STRIX-RX470-O4G-GAMING/dp/B01JS2UFDM ) in my computer. Upon looking to upgrade it, I'm finding that I cannot find any search results for it on benchmark sites. I am getting very confused with results for the Radeon RX 470 from AMD (https://www.amd.com/en/products/graphics/radeon-rx-470 ), which is quite different it seems. Are ASUS and AMD separate companies? I want to be able to compare my cards benchmark stats with others. Where can I compare?
 
Solution
Heres this in short: AMD manufacturers the graphics chip and puts it onto some cards of their own. ASUS and other companies take the Graphics chip and put it on a card with other components.
An AMD 470 and ASUS 470 are basically the same things.
Use www.userbenchmark.com to compare the stats of your cards to others.
What's your budget for an upgrade?
What's the rest of your system's specs including PSU and CPU?

OK thanks! last question: I've looked a lot of userbenchmark.com, but I've had no luck finding my ASUS card on there. From what you're saying, I should be ok comparing with the AMD https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/AMD-RX-470/Rating/3640 instead of my own?
