I was wondering if I should save a little extra for the 8GB AMD Radeon RX 480?  Any thoughts?

If what I was told earlier is true, it should only be about 20-40 more for the 8gb card. Give you that little extra cushion for the future.

I do hope so, It was rumoured to be around £160 in England, but I saw a leak of a picture which included the 8GB model costing £240. I was unsure if the card performed any different or if the VRAM was just doubled. Although it most likely would help with games coming in many years to come.

The guts are all going to be the same except the VRAM.
