It is a well known brand - has been around for quite some time. Have used their products at least twice and never had a problem with it. Not sure how their customer service is, but I guess that is a good thing since I didn't have to use it!

Would you go RX470 or just get it on and get RX480? i thought i was strong towards the RX470 because of me wanting to take on 2 cards which would theoretically mean i am using less power because my case is i have a 460 Watt ( 500 Watt peak) PSU.
I know i am taking a chance either or but i dont have money for a new PSU yet.
If i calculate all the items Mobo, Cpu, Gfx etc.... it should not exceed the Wattage...
I wanted to go crazy and buy 2 RX470's
I am just not sure now if i am making a mistake and should just get the dam RX480;s
Price wise here and intl it is very much similar where it is a marginal price difference - okay for me its a bit steep little i could use it for say some groceries.
Anyways, so i am not sure i know what i want now.
I really wish i can get clarity from somebody example i am not going to see too much of a gap.
I am not sure how the difference is with Mining data donating GPU power to BOINC projects and Space etc... and that sort of stuff, like encoding also... movies in X264 / X265.
I want to crossfire... just so i have 2 GPUs
I am just not sure ALSO about another fact, and that is RAM, 8GB or 4GB...is the 4GB okay?
