RX 480 Nitro 4GB or RX 470 8GB

[GodzAlba]

So I'm going to build a new PC soon, for gaming obviously.
But I don't really know if I should go with an RX 470 4GB or a RX 480 Nitro 4GB.
The RX 480 Nitro is about 217€
The RX 470 is 215€
Yea sure, the RX 480 is usually better than the 740 but I've never heard of those Nitro.
The standard RX 480 costs 250€ and this Nitro 215€ so I suppose it's weaker. Long story short is the 470 or the 480 Nitro stronger?

Get the RX 470, the 480 is just a higher clocked version of the 470 and the 8 GB Vram is way more future proof.
With some overclocking the RX 470 can easily catch up with the 480.

480 is better. They jack up the memory which is cheaper as a marketing tactic. I mean it does allow for higher resolutions and some other minor benefits but the 480 is the clear winner. My answer is an assumption. I can only assume you are using a 1080p TV or monitor. If you are using a 4K TV the 8GB would be a slightly better choice.
