Hi, i am looking and looking and not sure what to do, follow the theory of just buying the cheapest card , if there is a theory like that?
I have 1 PowerColor 4GB RedDevil.

I want to get another card.

Do i just get another PowerColor ?

Or is it fine to get a different card like.... and my choices are Nitro+ 4GB...but now somebody told me to get the 8GB version as it is quicker in terms of ram.
In USD money it is about 30 dollars more or less , i am not from USA but i just used that example.
My other choice is XFX 470 4GB  the one with 2 fans , i see there seem to be 3 versions of this card....i will certainly not take the 1 fan version
My last choice is another PowerColor 4gb Devil

Or do i just buy the cheapest card and not worry about RAM speed and clock speed?
Asus and Gigabyte seem to have good deals at times....but i am not sure about heat and stuff....
I notice in particular the ASUS ram speed is only 6600 and not 7000 (gbps that is) not sure he exact technical story

Anyways looking forward to help , thank you.

I am very happy with my Asus Strix RX470 4GB - I have a Sapphire Nitro+OC 480 4GB and, honestly, it's like a fast car with all the seats taken out of it. If you don't care about a card that literally overpowers every other sound emmited by other electronics/PC's in the room/open plan place, even my god damn refrigerator gets drowned out by the RX480 @ 65%.

I dunno why I just went off on fan noise because I really dont care as long as it hashes well - point being, I think, was that the Asus 470 has been rock solid stable, OCable and SUPERFKNQUIET... I would trust it not to say a word in court if it was a witness to some horrid crime I'd somehow committed.
