yes unless you're at 4K

i would upgrade your cpu to a i7 3770k and then the bottleneck should be less (cause you have 8 threads)

What's your budget? And how much is that Vega 56 card?

Not very worth it unless that i7 is nearly free.

vega 56 is $319 on newegg

I can get i7 3770k used $259 can afford that Next payday

could getting new amd mobo and cpu be cheaper?

I see some low prices amd mobos and cpu on newegg

amd FX-8350 like $65 on newegg Not sure what mobo is needed for this

Btw I got ddr3 ram

I may just get vega 56 and bottleneck for now

would that still get more fps than rx 580

Sorry for late reply had to run to gas station get some peanuts

next payday my budget will be like $500

That's not too great a price for Vega 56

And if you only have a 1080p 60hz display an RX 580 is plenty

 

That's a horrible price for such an old i7

For that same $500 you can get an R7 1700 with 16GBs of RAM and an RX 580 8GB which is on sale atm

your actually slow in the head.... the i7 3770k is on par with 7th gen i5's and it is worth it

If a game doesn't really use more than 4 threads that "upgrade" isn't really worth it, and if he only has a 60hz display the i5 isn't much of a bottleneck if it's overclocked.
