At least in my country both are at the same price, which one would you choose? Vote and justify!

480 more gpu grunt > vram.

If you plan on overclocking, then I would say 470, but if you aren't going to, I would go with 480

I read that in terms of future proof buys, more VRAM is better. Actually, I do plan to overclock, but I want the best performance possible, too.
So, since I won't be upgrading in the next 2 years approximately, which one do you recommend me to buy?

vram vsham, what is the point of having the vram to turn settings up if you don't have the horses to keep frames up while doing it?

Yeah, I just watched a video, according to it both seem to perform very similarly:

Chances are in the majority of games by the time the 4gb on the 480 is used up the 470 will be struggling anyway.
