I think they may be about the same mhs and power consumption when properly flashed and tweaked but i don't know for sure

Buy whatever is cheaper. That additional clocks they got and they are selling with their "OC" version you can get yourself by flashing card bios. There is no point in spending extra money

Dear Friends

The most I can get is 26.5 mh / s.
I can not reach the value of 30.5mh / s that nitro can do :(

I can buy the nitro for the same amount as normal. in my city the price is the same

Is it worth choosing the nitro? Because in the normal I can not get beyond 1900 mhz of memory clock.

Thanks

If they cost the same just go for nitro. There is no reason why would you go for other one but haven't saw that prices of that two cards are same. You must be lucky

if 470 is so good at hashing speed and power consumption why everyone prefers 480?

At some countries price difference between rx 470 and rx 480 is just too small so its better to go for rx 480 instead since its more powerfull card. Also many people bought 480s when they just came out and they are now saying that its a better card because they don't want to feel like they wasted money

It means that there not a huge difference between those two, in my case I ordered all my cards abroad when price difference between 470 and 480 was about 20-30$
