The performance loss going to 4GB is so great that it might as well have been reserved for the 5500 non-XT. Granted, if you're playing a game at 1080p, you don't need to use high/ultra texture settings, which would spare you enough VRAM where the performance hit won't be so brutal.
The 4GB version should not exist.

If you can have 8gb vram on 200$ card why would you go for less and play lower quality textures?
Its only matter of time 6gb cards gets similiar treatment.

Have you seen the performance figures a bit above your comment?
A very odd thing to say...
Yes, I looked over the review. And here a couple more examples.

My dusty old card is starting to get beaten by entry level cards like this (especially the real 8GB model) quite badly, but I'm in no hurry to upgrade. I'll need to see the next generation from both camps. I reckon I will want HW raytracing to keep running the card for a few years at least. Of course nobody knows if AMD's first gen RT will amount to much, but probably they needed to convince Sony and MS, at least. For Nvidia it will be the second gen already, which is good, but one can only hope they won't go so crazy with the prices.

Boy, this is a more underwhelming release than the 10th series of Intel CPUs.
