if you want to save some money get this deal now. i'll buy it too. it cost 180$ (before tax) and it think 4gb for this price is enough for gaming. (i am right?).

ya 4gb is right

@akela, I suggest you go with this GTX 1060 3GB card as it is under $200 and comes with free shipping as well. It is also more powerful than the RX 470 4GB. It is proven HERE.

People say that gigabyte is shit w/ AMD this time. Like there AIB RX 480 can't stay cool even if its life depending on it. Now people say MSI Gaming X coolers offer the best performance or best bang for your buck cooling. So I would reccomend the MSI Gaming X 470 4gb. No point going 8GB with an RX 470. just a waste of money

I would suggest you to check out MSI one but if it's way too expensive XFX and Sapphire are not bad choices.

[Soundsystem90]

GTX TITAN XP is best RX 470.

you mean this one: https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-STRIX-Radeon-Graphics-STRIX-RX470-O4G-GAMING/dp/B01JS2UFDM

 

If yes there's no much diference between the msi one i show you. my question is do you need 2 dvi-d ports of the asus one?

No I don't need the ports, but i don't want a red graphics card

ahh I will probably get that one or the nitro+

[ivan134]

Most of the 470s are solid. Personally I would go with the nitro.

Gigabyte and Asus are absolute bullcrap this time around, avoid them like the plague.

I vote against the 1060 3GB only because of the 3GBs of VRAM, because 3GB can easily be saturated in some games nowadays.

As I said earlier, the Asus one is also crap, one or two of the heatpipes isn't making contact with the GPU die.

the XFX cards are very strong this time around , take a look at those

@TheRandomness I agree , I have a R9 290 4gb

arguably a faster card and I am hitting the 4gb wall rather quickly in a lot of games ,idlove to have an 8gb card

Not too much of a fan for the Asus one. They nailed the RX480 one but not so much with the rest. Asus have a bad history with AMD cards because of under performing coolers.
