Is the RX 570 still worth it?

IAmAndre

Hi,

 

Up until yesterday I wanted to purchase a GTX 1660Ti to go along with my Ryzen 5 2600X. But today I saw that there are RX 570's 4GB selling for around $130-140 bundled with 2 free games. That's half the price of the 1660Ti so I'm really tempted.

I'm not a huge gamer tbh and it would still be a huge upgrade over my GTX 750. I also don't play a lot of shooters though I've been playing Apex Legends quite a bit recently. I'm mostly into sports games and RTS. I currently gaming in 1080p but I'm considering upgrading to a 1440p monitor. And finally I also play on console like 40% of the time now.

The 570 will not cut it for 1440p, you would need at least an 8GB RX 580 for that. But if you plan on staying at 1080p, a 570 4GB will do well for a few more years.

Go 1080p 144hz, 144 is literally heaven i think you'll prefer it over a resolution bump. 

I think this applies mostly to shooters, but on a strategy game for instance I think that having more information displayed at once can help.

Good to know. However I'm not upgrading for gaming but for productivity mostly. I want to have more information on the screen, and if it can improve my gaming experience that's even better. How does 1080p gaming look on a 1440p monitor?

the 4GiB yes, the 8GiB I disagree. With medium to high the 570 still cuts it if you can live with 30-60fps.

FOr more you have to get something better...

 

I personally replaced the RX480/8GiB with a VEGA64 just less than 2 weeks ago and the RX480 was still going pretty strong and I just wanted a new GPU after 2,5 Years (and PSU Testing ;))

We need more information.

What do you really do.

What is the programm you want to use?

like shit.

720p would be better if the Scaler doesn't totally fuck it up as its exactly 1/2 the with and height, so a good scaler uses just 4 pixels for one.

 

ANd yes, I have a 1440p Screen that kinda enrages me right now because of the high demand towards the (HDMI) Cable...

So DVI might be a good idea as a fallback.

if you already have the 1440p monitor then there's not much to say, get the 1660ti, if you can stomach playing on low-medium, then the 570 with 2 free games is off course, a money saver.

I currently don't do a lot of work that actually require a lot of graphic power. I just happen to multitask a lot and I like the extra pixels to see more information (like having 2-3 windows open simultaneously).

Now I might get back to video production with After Effects and maybe Cinema4D at some point. That's not my focus for now but if that happens having a decent GPU would help indeed.

while it will play games at that resolution, you really want a 580 or a Vega 56 for playing at that resolution comfortablly. 

Okay unless the price of the 580 drops in the next few weeks, I think I'll stick with the 570 since according to the video (which I don't trust all that much coming from AMD themselves) it should be able to run DMC 5 at 120+ fps at 1080p and 70+ fps at 1440p. Now do you think that the 8GB version is worth it? It's only $20 more or so but then the RX 580 might be the better deal. The only problem I have with it is its power consumption. The 570 is more power efficient.

no, just get the 4gb, and oc.

I'm not into overclocking but do you think that the extra 4GB are useless,  even at 1440? I'm not necessarily talking about gaming.

yeah, unless you do neural networks.

You can forget the 1660ti and all the new stuff. Until navi arrives, the rx 570 will still remain the king at 1080p. The price/performance is what everybody wanted from a gpu, it's perfection for the price.

 

Honestly, nothing comes close when we're talking about value at 1080p. It's a beast for the price you pay.

Agreed. I paid $140 at the time I purchased my RX 570 back in December. It runs games like The Division 2 and Resident Evil at 50-60 fps on 1080 high (not ultra) settings. I've even played Oculus games (star trek bridge crew, robo recall, VR echo) just fine with minimal stuttering. I've read that performance falls somewhere between a GTX 1050ti and GTX 1060 6gb.

People who say you cannot play 1440 with the RX 570 have clearly NEVER had one. I will however include two caveats, you WILL need the 8Gb version and it all depends on your system (CPU Ram). I have the Radeon Nitro version (wow what a card for the money) and I get between 60 to over 120 fps on WOT with ultra settings and I am using an old AMD 8350 chip with 16Gb Ram. The 1660 super is potentially 30/50% faster, but that depends on many things my 570 is a great card I love it and since it is almost half the price of the 1660 super, until I upgrade my system it is plenty FAST ENOUGH !!
