I am in the market for a new GPU, and I need to know whether an RX 470 or RX 480 would fit my needs.
I have two 4k monitors in extended display, with one being used for gaming @ 1080p or 1440p, with the other monitor to do stuff in between.
There is an MSI Radeon RX 480 Gaming X 8G that is available for pre-order and will be available August 30th, so I'll probably be able to get my hands on it sometime in mid September. Here is the link:

There are also three 4GB RX 470s available right now on Newegg:

XFX Radeon RX 470: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150777&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-Veeralava%20LLC-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=6202798&SID=
I can't really tell the difference between those three 470s, but from what I've read, the 480 isn't significantly better than the 470 for a $70-$90 price increase. My question is: which of those should I get? My intention is to keep the new card for at least 3 years, as that's how I've been with my previous cards.

What's wrong with you anon
I'm running dual 980tis on my single 4k
Why would you even downscale resolution

using a single 290x for 4k gaming on a single monitor. I have two but didn't bother to put in the second yet
>>55953289
Why are you skimping out on the gpu when you've got 4k monitors
>>55953289
There isn't too much of a difference between a 470 and 480 so just find the fairest price for a 470 and buy that one
>>55953289 (OP)
FYI, apparently Jet has the MSI 470 4GB on 172 before taxes. In case anyone might want to save ~$10 instead of the 199 from newegg.

Get the MSI 470, its legit as fuck and at a very good price.
Some guys have been benchmarking the MSI OC 470 at only 2-5 FPS lower than a OC 480, OC 1060, and 2~ frames higher than a GTX 970 G.
On DX12 and Vulkan games it will match or outperform the 1060 and 970.
The MSI 470 Gaming 4/8G is the best 4XX Radeon, in terms of price/perf IMO.
