What does this comparison mean?
Only 3 FPS separates RX 480 8GB and RX 480 4GB in the supplied results, a 4.4% lead. The RX 480 8GB also has 4GB more memory, which is a separate distinction from the small FPS difference. Individual-card condition and the price difference deserve attention here.
RX 480 4GB has 4GB and RX 480 8GB has 8GB of graphics memory. Memory capacity, board dimensions, power connectors and the price of a particular used card are separate from this benchmark. Compare the exact item before deciding whether to upgrade.
The two GPUs in context
RX 480 4GB
The RX 480 4GB launched in June 2016 alongside an 8GB version, bringing Polaris to the mainstream desktop range. This entry keeps the smaller-capacity card separate from the 8GB model.
RX 480 8GB
The RX 480 launched in June 2016 and introduced AMD's Polaris architecture. This is the 8GB GDDR5 version, rather than the separately listed 4GB configuration.

How the figures are compared
Both FPS figures come from the owner-supplied GPUsed benchmark dataset. GPUsed reports a continuous FurMark run at 1080p for its physical-card checks. The percentage compares the higher model average with the lower one using the original FPS values. Our rating uses a compressed scale, with the fastest GPU at 100; it is separate from the percentage difference. A benchmark result does not predict gaming FPS.
GPUsed reports its physical-card checks typically last 30 to 60 minutes while temperature and stability are checked. The owner supplied the model-level FPS workbook on 2 October 2026; this benchmark dataset was last reconciled 3 October 2026. Historical cards tested are separate from the number of FPS runs behind a model average. Full benchmark method.
