Hi all, just combining a couple of systems I have and have the choice between keeping a Sapphire RX480 8gb or a Sapphire Rx580 4gb. Scouting online there doesn't seem to be much between them. Any thoughts?

I would keep the 480. Both are almost identical with the 580 having a slightly higher base clock, so it really just comes down to 4GB vs 8GB VRAM
