RX 470 models to choose

[fedefury]

I am convinced to buy the rx 470 4 gb or 8 gb version but i have no experience on what type of model i should choose from. I don't want to buy the reference model as i would like to have better cooling etc. Which ones are good? Price to performance wise too plz!

MSI RX470 Gaming, ASUS Strix and the Gigabyte ones all have really good coolers and higher clock speeds equalling better performance. I would personally choose the MSI RX470 Gaming 8GB

RX470 Nitro+ from Sapphire. It's 8GB variant is the only RX470 with much faster 8GHz VRAM, and both 4 GB and 8Gb have proper cooling on VRAM. MSI Gaming X has the beefiest cooler overall, but I believe memory chips on it are bare. Gigabyte card shows good enough results, but overall the card is made with a bit of saving.
And Asus Strix is a special case- a badly designed card, that 'keeps GPU cool' in most reviews , but really creates a hot spot near VRMs and memory- and this is even before overclocking: http://media.bestofmicro.com/B/8/600452/original/01-Asus-RX-470-Strix-Doom-Loop.png (from Tomshardware Asus RX470 review)

Rx470 8gb sapphire(only) very close to any Rx480 8gb. Because only it has samsung memory = 2000mhz as well as any Rx480 8gb.
Rx470 8gb msi has Micron memory (1650mhz).
Most of Rx470 4gb and Rx480 4gb have Hynix memory(1750mhz)
