I have an opportunity to pick up a card locally. I am mostly familiar with nvidia gpu mining so I am not sure of the current logic on AMD cards.

Both are brand new with warranty. Is either of this a good deal strictly for mining? The the 8GB card needs an 8pin and 6 pin connector, but my understanding is you can get by without it.

I purchased the 4GB and get 22 in dagger/decred at the moment after tweaking. I am wondering if the 8GB is better long term.

Thanks for any thoughts.

Yeah, for those prices, the answer is clearly both.
