It is so they can technically launch the 480 4GB and show it was out there for $199, even if the launch batch was very limited and not to be replaced for 4+ weeksSo does the rx480 actually have 8GB on it, and only using 4GB?
Seems like a strange move by AMD if so.
It is, but try to get the initial 4GB launch cards...If this is legitimate I owe that other thread starter an apology...

Someone mentioned that it was actually cheaper for AMD to just mass produce a single board than to actually not solder on 4 chips. I'm not sure how realistic this is but perhaps the cost savings of not having to deal with the logistics of having two separate assembly fabs and keep track of two separate models vs just making one was actually greater. Perhaps it was cheaper to just have the bios flash at the end and a sticker on the box was the cheapest route.
