I found this on ebuyer, while looking for a card to crossfire with my other 4GB card. I looked for this Nitro Graphics gaming card a while ago, but the Sapphire r9 Nitro 380 was too close to £200 for my budget at the time.
I have a Strix R9 card, and this will go nicely with it!
the cooling plate looks really solid on this one. Thought I would share this with any games looking for a new GPU - Component for their computer system.

Do you not mean VRAM?
Stop pretending you know what you're talking about because you read a hotukdeal post 3 weeks ago

4gb is fine for 1080 gaming. It's not like you are going to be doing much more on a card like this!

Of course, RX 470 is coming out 'soon'. AMD released a 'expected August 4th' for that, and 'expected August 8th' for the RX 460. Price and performance remain unknown, but the specs of RX470 are very close to RX480 but the rumour was $150 vs $199 for RX480 (both for 4GB), so around £150 making this probably not that great value.

I've got the 2GB version of this and I don't run into any issues at 1080p. I'm able to run pretty much everything at Max settings at 1080p with only the odd exception.

4gb is perfect for 1080 my current card due to flogging my 290 vapour, a R9 285 is pretty much the same card except it has 2gb of video memory and it's great most settings on high, fxaa ssao etc some on very high, shadows usually medium, only game that really gets hit is the very poorly optimised Latest batman game.
Far cry 4, assassin's creed syndicate, ds3, fallout 4, battleborn etc all smooth 60fps.
I am not saying you must buy the 380 but 4gb is plenty as 8gb is really only required / used when gaming in higher resolutions.

How does this compare to my R9 290 2 gb card?

I think they might only have a 128mb 386 sx system so in that case, yes ram too low

128MB on a 386SX would have been epic. Actually I'm pretty sure it wasn't possible, mine had 4MB and I never met anyone with more than 8MB at the time...
First time I saw 128MB+ ram on a normal PC was with a P2 or an Athlon tbird I think

Yet it can play most games at high comfortably at 1080p?
It's not meant to be hitting 4k at 144hz. It's a cheaper alternative to buying an old 290 or 280x or even a 390.
Not everyone needs or is able to even utilize ultra settings.
