So the 4gb unlock to 8gb??

No, why would AMD put 8GB on the cards and lock it to 4GB and charge less?
It is just a rumour, the XFX SKU sold out quick, it was originally £175.99 and then £184.99, they are now gone.
I am sure if they are 8GB people will be talking about it in next few days.

Yes supply and demand, why sell them at crazy low margin (single digit) when I can obtain no more, an extra tenner, still great value!
8GB pricing is unchanged!
So it's not considered misleading for you to send an email out at one price and me get here and it's at a different price. I don't actually care for the price, just pointing out how it would be annoying to people.
For those wondering about the model, we did some risque ones... here's a sneak peek

Oh, very nice.. All you need was an RX 480 bra and you would sell out!

No more reference 4GB? Then the biggest and most important question... when can we see the AIB cards? (the last hope for 4GB)?
I'll be honest... considering 4GB 380 pricing, the 4GB RX 480 wasn't too shabby... at the original price. It is the best choice here. Suprisingly, £10 means a lot the cheaper you go. I see the 8GB as unnecessary, especially considering the performance and intended resolution of the RX 480, 8GB simply isn't necessary for 1080p. Perhaps it's future proof, but people have made do with much less VRAM for longer. £10 more on a 1080 doesn't mean as much by comparison.
Edit: Shouldn't the R9 380/960 be dropping in price to be clearing stock (making room for the new GPU)? They won't sell much with the RX 480 around right now at their current prices lol. They need to join the rest of the older cards in the price drops.
