Maybe it's a 4 Gb card? It only says "480" after all.

I'm not sure the difference between the 4gb rx480 and the 8gb rx480 would really have an impact in terms of that comparison chart, having more vram doesn't generally give a boost to fps afaik, it just lets you do more STUFF (bigger textures etc).

The 480 4GB also have slower memory, rated at 7Gbps instead of the 8Gbps of their big brother. That limits the bandwidth of the card and affects the performance in some games, as this article shows: http://www.gamersnexus.net/guides/2503-amd-rx-480-4gb-vs-8gb-benchmark-is-it-worth-it



Please excuse my bad English.
