Best type of RX 480

[Vladamir_1]

I am finally deciding to replace my old 6770 graphics card. I am almost decided on an rx 480, but do not know which version to get. I currently have an i7 3770k and z77 mobo. I am mainly looking to play higherish end games like bf1 ect. Should i get the 3,4 or 8gb version, and which is the best brand (asus, sapphire ect). Also, would the 470 be just as effective, and should i possibly consider the nvidia alternative? Thanks.

I think the MSI Devil is the best. Do a google search seems to get the highest stable overclocks.

It looks bad ass.

Powercolor makes the "devils", though some say MSI's version (RX 480 GAMING X 8G, or also its armor series) are best all around. Which one is the most desirable though? They're all decent, but there are some details that you might want to check, e.g. which has the best warrantees, etc. Here's a reddit page discussing the same issue. https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/4zg6ch/best_aftermarket_rx_480/ Fwiw, MSI, XFX, possibly among top place, though Asus also pretty good from what I understand.
