Hi, i have been finding conflicting reviews of this card online.
I would like to know from somebody what is the real power usage of this card.
The MSI RX480 Armor OC 4GB, not the 8GB

Is the consumption 120 Watts or 150 Watts?

I have the following cards:
RX470 Saphire Nitro+ 8GB which uses as much a 132 Watts, ive never seen it climb beyond this.
RX470 PowerColor 4GB which uses as much as 121 Watts, ive never seen it climb beyond this.

Please assist me in confirming the usage of the - MSI RX480 Armor OC 4GB
And is this a decent card to use for mining?

I was considering an RX570 Aorus 4GB but i am not sure about the power consumption of this card also.

RX cards will all pull the same power if the voltage and tdp are set the same.

I dont follow? set the same? how? msi afterburner?
So i have 2 existing RX470 cards , if add the RX480 , specifically the MSI card --- cause i was told and read different stories about the brands not being the same , so i would like to clarify.

My view in GPU-Z or MSI Afterburner shows me slightly different wattage values by difference of 10-15 watts, so i dont understand what you mean, sorry:
Specifically of these cards
RX470 Saphire Nitro+ 8GB which uses as much a 132 Watts, ive never seen it climb beyond this.
RX470 PowerColor 4GB which uses as much as 121 Watts, ive never seen it climb beyond this.
 
Bios mods to set the vcore vmem and tdp.

8GB cards should pull more power than 4GB cards. Some mfg's will have the TDP set higher in the bios.

If you are mining you should already be modding your bios on these cards
