AMD RX 480 4GB Early Units Have 8GB of GDDR5 Memory, Unlockable Via BIOS Update
Soon after the RX 480 was released some rumors began to surface suggesting that early retails units of the 4GB RX 480 are actually 8GB versions flashed with the 4GB BIOS...
So, if you are one of the lucky folks who found one of the first 4GB RX-480, you may actually have an 8GB unit. But, you need to flash the BIOS. If the 4GB units are really 8GB with a 4GB BIOS, then maybe you will also get the memory speed upgrade.
