New rig: 470 or 480?

[chudm]

Hi guys im making a new rig and dont want to mod any bios , just put the rig working from the start without problems (maybe underclock it), the 470/480 cards with 4 gb seems to be at the same price point, which one do you recommend?

Sapphire NITRO+ RX 470 4GB/asus 480 4b /msi 4 gb  or asus/msi/gigabyte 470 4 gb

Buying a non reference card wont give you more hashrate then the reference models. Maybe some if the card is overclocked from the factory but hardly worth the extra cost.

Reference 480 8Gb can give you around 27Mhs (underclocked) without a bios mod.
Reference 470 4Gb give you around 23Mhs without bios mod.

With custom bios
Reference 480 8Gb 30-32Mhs
Reference 470 4Gb 27-28Mhs

If i where you i really should consider going 470 + custom bios.

The price difference between the 470 and 480 is about 20%. So it might be good to buy the 470 to have higher density.
