RX 580 4gb vs 8gb

Hi all, I’m planning to buy a new GPU soon, and was considering an RX 580. The 4gb model is going on amazon right now for 184 dollars, and I think that is an amazing deal. However, the 8gb models are going for 240~ before tax. I don’t know which one I should get. Is the 4gb enough to game comfortably until end of 2019? Or should I get the 8gb?

184 is a pretty good deal right now. I think you should be good with 4GB for the most part. A few games will be using more vram, such as AC Odyssey on ultra settings. But high settings is more reasonable with the RX 580 and 4GB is enough.

However, these is a used RX 580 8gb on eBay for 170. Is 4gb enough for the most part, to last for a year or so? I know it is enough for now, but what about the future? I don’t plan for much AAA titles, Although I might try some. I don’t really know if I risk used, or just stick with new.

If it's used it's probably seen some cryptomining. 4GB is enough for now. I don't know about the future.

I would have guessed. The guy’s selling them in huge quantities.
