Looking at prices in your country, i would go for RX 470. Noticeable difference in speed between 470 and 480 is when 480 have 8gb of memory. Since both of your cards have 4gb it's just not worth it to go with 480s

Thank you all for posting!

Do you know why 480 8GB is faster? I'm new mining, and I don't know too much, as far as I understand vram memory is used tu allocate the DAG file, but if DAG file is smaller than 4GB what is the upside?

I can buy RX 480 with 8GB of XFX for 225, SAPPHIRE for 235 or MSI and GIGABYTE for 245, but I read that XFX is not recommendable.

480 8GB is faster due to faster RAM and more units, but it spends more power and costs more, so ROI is longer
4G versions use less fast memory

4g 480s are pretty fast on equihash i get 195 with the asus 480 4G card hynix ram, vs 205 with the 8G cards, all my 470s max at 175-185 depends on asic quality and oc

I 'm almost using RX470 MSI now. it's very good with price and less power but the profit from mining RX470 is just only less 3% compared with RX480 (8GB) I think it's quite reasonable for RX470 MSI.
