8gb if you plan on keeping the card more than a year.

also take a look at asus strix 480. its better than the nitro in every category.

sapphire dropped the ball this generation. its heatsink is pathetically weak. asus offers better temps and lower noise.

The Nitro really isn't that great though. The XFX GTR and MSI Gaming X are by far the best RX 480s. Sapphire have made amazing coolers in the past (the Fury Nitro one is borderline-miraculous), but their RX 480 cooler is built down to a price and doesn't perform that well.

Also, the Strix isn't great. Almost as loud as the reference card, albeit running much cooler. It's one of the RX 480s that I tried and sent back, because it was just too loud. There are better choices.

bad benchmark. the MSI card was obviously thermal throttling.

Get the 8g for games that get more bloated every year, watch out for the XFX GTR model

None, games are for manchildren.

What's the difference between r9 390 and rx 480?

Can't you unlock the full 8gbob 4gb models or is that just reference cards?

Just reference, and only the first ones sold.
