What the title says, the first AIB RX 480 cards are coming out these days and a few people already have them on their hands.
It is common knowledge by now that there was a shortage on the appropriate ram chips for the 4GB cards on the reference cards and as such pretty much all of them shipped with 8GB.
Haven't found a solid whether or not AIBs "fixed" this issue and it seems like I'm not the only one wondering about it, judging from posts on the bigger threads. :biggrin:
I'm itching to buy an RX 480 card, however the 8GB cards are somewhat pricey here in Europe and I don't want to be left with 4GB since I'll be keeping the card for at least 2 years (3+ more likely). Please, don't turn this thread into a debate whether or not 8GB are actually needed or not, we've all read enough posts from both sides of the argument.
So, has anybody checked the 4GB AIB cards? Are there any PCB shots for, say, the Nitro cards available?
