What graphics card should I get.

Chimaera987

My options are a Power Color 570 4Gb for $153, a Saphire 570 8Gb for $170, a couple of 1650s from $176 to $215, a XFX 580 8Gb for $223, an XFX 590 8Gb for 255 and an Inno3D1660 for $270.

Now the, 570 4Gb probably wont be on stock anymore by the time I'll get to buy the graphics card.  I'll add the fact that with the AMD cards you get a game bundle with WWZ and Division 2 and with the Nvidia cards you get some shitty Fortnite bundle.

 

Also I currently have 8Gbs of system RAM and I may or may not want to upgrade it, because I work with Unity. What do you guys say? Should I?

So a 570 with 8Gb RAM upgrade or a 580? I mean there is not that big of a difference between the two cards.

There isnt much difference in terms of performance between the 590 and 1660. I would say get the 590 as its the better of the cards listed overall.

Thanks for the tip mate, but I live in Romania sadly, shipping and the card would probably cost the same as the ones here. I'll probably get that 570 4Gb I only game on 1080p and I don't really care about Ultra graphics, medium-high is fine. The 580 gets like 10FPS more on average than the 570, plus I could get a cheap SSD too if I buy that. The only thing now is to decide if 8Gb of ram is enough, for gaming and for making games

It says so, but it isn't. When the sites see that I'm in Romania it takes me to the global site and it says "Shipping: 163.83lei" which is like $15 plus the card is 5bucks more too for some odd reason.

Go for nvidia of course

But why? In game benchmarks most of them are on par or weaker than team reds offer while they are more expensive. The only upside is the lower power consumption and heat which I don't really care about. Team green should automatically be better in this since it's built on a smaller process.

Not really, the 1660 was a bit more expensive than the 580. And was a bit faster than the 580, matching the 590 in most cases.
1660 was a lot more efficient than the 580/590 however, the price is keeping it back (IMO)
