Hello...
I've been waiting to get an RX480 and now the market is flooded with aftermarket (IE...non-reference designs) versions.
Newegg has a couple of the new, 4GB, versions and an old, 8GB, version for similar pricing.
Just wondering on your thoughts.
It seems like the newer versions would have better cooling, from double the fans, but the exhaust port is only have as wide, due to the inclusion of a DVI port.
Assumingly, 8GB vs 4GB isn't really a valuable difference.
Is there reason to buy one over the other?
