So Im new to building (obviusly) but here is my question, should I get a RX 580 or a gtx 1080?
FIRST CONTEXT, I’m building a workstation with an AMD 7 1700 for the 8 cores which will help me with the type of work I’ll be doing (3d modeling and rendering), but I also like gaming, not 4k ultra gaming, just high quality at 1440.
NOW, I know that the gtx is probably better overall and its what I was going to buy, but what I’m thinking and I would like feedback, is that in the last year GPUs haven’t had a huge upgrade in terms of power, so probably in the next year or two we will get a big upgrade and way better graphic cards. So I think maybe at this time I can get an RX580 for its low cost and good enough performance, so I’ll be saving a few bucks (I’m kind of in a budget), and I can get a new GPU in a couple of years when they come stronger (assuming that what I’m saying is true that they will actually upgrade).
I’ll be so thankful for comments on this matter. Also, sorry for the bad English, it’s not my first tongue, and I have been researching for like a month, so there is a great chance that what I’m saying is all wrong.
Thank you
