good value better than the asus dual which has been £9 cheaper and its worth the extra money with no quality control issues and has rgb and a back plate. With doom.
Features:
- Powered by Radeon RX480
- Stylish metal back plate
- LED power indicators
- 6+2 Power phase
- 1x 8-Pin power connector
- Integrated with 4gb GDDR5 256bit memory
- WINDFORCE 2X with Blade Fan Design
- Support up to 8K display @60Hz (requires 2*DP1.3 connectors)
- 16.8M Customizable Color RGB Lighting
You've put the specs down for 8gb and 4gb. This is the 4gb. If it was the 8gb I'd have bought! ☹️

All retailers seem to offloading the 480's as the refresh versions are out shortly.

I only replaced mine about a month or two ago, stunning chip given it's about ten years old!

I tried Xeon equivalent E5440 with GTX 1050 (non Ti card), and E5440 would bottleneck the card in Fallout 4. The Witcher 3, GTA V and so on. So RX 480 is total overkill. IMO GTX 750TI, RX460, maybe GTX 950 is best to pair with that CPU.
Cool chip though, cheapest on ebay at the moment - £35, I recently bought i5 3470 for £50, lol.

Ordered one yesterday. Being delivered tomorrow. Just been emailed the free code for Doom 2016 which is part of the deal.

A good price, but I think I'll be holding out for an 8GB model.
It's getting tough to call whether the new RX 580 or an outgoing 480 is the way to go.

Well, RX 580 is mostly a rebrand but rumours point to it getting a process respin: still 14nm FinFET but going from LPE to LPP.

LPP is meant to be 'up to ten percent more performance' according to Samsung http://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/foundry/process-technology/14nm/
But what that means for RX 580 is unknown. That CB story only goes on about 4% more Boost clocks, so either GF's version of Samsung's 14 FF LPP is not as good, or AMD are going to lower the TPU (possible meaning more overclocking potential for users).

Heat from me, got the Asus dual 4gb for £150 with doom in a recent deal and no problems apart from not being able to get freesync working with doom :P

The 8gb Gigabyte model is £80+ more, or a ASUS 8GB for £30 more.
