On 511 point WU's, mine drops down to ~3000 PPD, and mine has a stock shader speed of 1700 MHz which I've overclocked to 1850 MHz, compared to the stock 1375 MHz on the card you're looking at.
On 787 point WU's, mine does about 4200-4500 PPD,
on 353 point WU's, it can do about 4600 PPD, but it also varies a lot and can be as low as 4300.
