RX 480 4gb or RX 470 8gb

[Ryan Sony]

Im confused between the RX 480 4gb and the RX 470 8gb. Both are the same price in my country(MSI Gaming X versions).

Go with RX 480 4GB, it offers more performance. I doubt you'll use more than 4GB in most games.. But definitely the extra performance 480 is offering over 470 is useful in all situations.

what resolution do you play at?

at that resolution the more vram the better tbh. i would save up for the rx480 8gb or gtx1060 6gb

I agree with @tlink

 

I use 4gigs of VRAM at 1080p in most newer games. For 1440p, you'll need more than 4gigs of VRAM.

4gbs is going to be fine for 1440p if you drop texture levels

 

otherwise the 8gb 480 is where you'll want to be at

and you already have the 1440p display?
