RX 480 or 470

[Aaronius_Leonius]

I looked at some benchmarks for these cards at http://gpuboss.com/gpus/Radeon-RX-480-vs-Radeon-RX-470 and the 480 isn't that much better and the 470 is a slightly better value. Would I notice any difference if I were to get a 470, would it be much different than the 480? I don't care about VR performance because I don't have a VR headset and don't need one and probably never will.

there is a bit of a preformance increase but not that mutch depends on your budget

gpuboss is the worst site to compare ever.

Its a pretty big difference. Go for the 480 you wont regret it

Don't use gpuboss for information. They honestly suck. The difference is pretty big so i'd go 480 if you can.

What site do you recommend instead?

[Woahduds]

i mean depends on the price of the 480, you can get a 1060 3gb for about 200 usd

I hope it stays that way because I can't afford to get everything at once in my PC. I would need to research some for differences

rx 480 4gb would still be better than a 1060 3gb

That's the 6gb 1060 vs RX 480 8gb.

I am still considering the 8gb but I would need to get an i3 6100 instead if an i5 6500

Does VRAM make any difference?

in this scenario not much. for 1060 would a whole big difference. I originally went for 1060 3gb but then given the fact it is a way slower version of 1060 6gb while the 480 4gb vs 8gb was just less vram and little bit smaller clock speed I opted for the RX 480 instead.

What about the difference between the 6100 and 6500

One has real quad core, one has 2 cores and hyperthreading which acts like cores

For CPU heavey game it would be a big difference
