WHY IN THE HELL DID I BUY THIS?!

Why did I buy an 8gig RX480?

Who in their right mind needs 8 gigs of RAM on their fucking video card?

What possible fucking program is going to need 16 gigs of DDR 3 and 8 of DDR5?

God, I'm such a fucking RETARD

I could have bought two 2 gig RX 460's and run them in crossfire, at least then I would have gotten at least SOME improvement in performance...

Software is like porn, new software will expand to fit available space

Why the fuck theres no 6gb rx480

Return it and get the 4GB version. If you cannot return it, just accept the loss. The price difference is about $30-$40 more, no? That is not going to bankrupt you.

Glad to help, please mark the question as answered

GOD DAMN IT
I'M ONLY HUMAN
SO I BUY NAME BRANDS

I DONT WANT TO END UP LIKE ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE WHO BUILDS THEIR COMPUTERS OUT OF CARBORED BOXES, SCORED CARBON AND THEIR OWN FECES!!!

>What possible fucking program is going to need 16 gigs of DDR 3 and 8 of DDR5?

BUT WHY DO "I" NEED IT?
THE MOST MEMORY INTENSIVE GAME I PLAY IS MINECRAFT!!!
AAAAUUUGGGHHH!!!

if you cant use all your VRAM theres something wrong with your setup, likely you're not using the proper resolution or a godly multi monitor setup.

Obviously you've never bought anything from Newegg

I dunno, what kind of vidya do you need for 4k?

>radeon

oh fuck off

>Who in their right mind needs 256 mb of RAM on their fucking video card?

lol

Just once, I want the tech industry to lie to me. I want them to tell me things are going to get better then have them get worse.

Just once I want to see the tech industry to crash and fucking burn. I want to see something flop harder than betamax.

I'm building better computers for my clients than I am for myself.

Itanium

256 bit memory bus as opposed to the GTX 1060's 192 bit bus.

It'll probably be okay.

I mean, I'm not going to die or anything.

If you have 3 processors and 48 gigs of RAM, how is that not a server?

>he fell for the 16GiB RAM meme

Probably need it for all those mods and high res textures you autist.

Hardware advancements beget software bloat, so it's only a matter of time before >4GB GPUs become advantageous thank to the number of 6GB GTX 1060s or better floating around.

Even the XO/PS4 allocate >5GB for graphics stuff nowadays, so lazy ports will likely even benefit.

Big open world games like gta v can be heavy on vram at 4k

You're a fucking RETARD but not for the those reasons.

There is no way your fucking LOW-END graphics card will ever use 8 GB of VRAM efficiently.
4 GB can be short on non-HBM graphics card when used at resolutions greater than 1080p.

HOWEVER, you don't plan on playing video games at those resolutions with a FUCKING RX 480 except if you're found of slideshows.

kys youself out of this world and
off to you go

First off skyrim mods.

Second new games will be made even shittier and require it.

16gm is also for more then one program. Namely running a web browser while you do something else since web browser are such memory hogs these days. Memory is cheap enough that 16 is a no brainer.

>he fell for the amd meme

benchmarks of non moded games ever needing more than 4GB pl0x

Graphics cards are for more than just graphics - they're good for any massively parallel tasks. Try not being such a fucking consumer next time.

>Who in their right mind needs 8 gigs of RAM on their fucking video card?

its far better on the card than on the mobo
people are going crazy over RAM, which was fine when it was cheap, but now acting like they need 16GB of ram..

hell they dont even need 8GB RAM, most faggots would be mighty fine with 4GB, even the heavy gamers
