Rx 480 4gb vs 8gb at stock frequency.

FakeNSA

So essentially the title, I want to upgrade my video card soon, and game at 1440x900 (eventually 1080p). I want to max settings in newer games, although most of playtime would be spent playing indie survival games. Would the 8gb version offer a significant advantage if I know I will never do crossfire? Also, I will not OC for a long time because of poor case ventilation. Also, suggestions on a smaller-than full sized 480 would be greatly appreciated. Have a great day!

I'd recommend the 8GB RX480 if you plan on gaming at 1080p but the 4GB at the same clock speeds perform more or less the same as the 8GB RX480 if there's no vRAM limitations due to only having 4GB so...it's kinda your call whether the extra monies for double the vRAM is worth it or not :P 

Looking at my signature are we now? Well too bad there's nothing here...
