I wanted to buy a new graphic card but I have a difficulties of choosing the graphic card Asus Strix Gaming RX480 8GB GDDR5 OR Asus Strix R9 Fury 4GB GDDR5, the monitor I currently is AOC G2460PF. Any suggestion from you guys?
 
Solution
The R9 Fury is in a completely different league performance-wise, but the trade-off is higher power consumption.

Don't let VRAM influence your decision too much. 8GB is largely useless unless you're running multiple graphical mods. Not all games, even ones that are GPU-intensive, use a lot of VRAM.

Tough question. New games use huge amounts of vram, especially at high resolutions where the Fury shines. So, fury will outperform the rx480 at high resolutions but have less ultra detail due to less vram. Depends on the games you play.
