Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 or Sapphire RX 570

[Supersonicwolfe]

Welp I saw a few charts out there ranking RX 570 just above GTX 970 including Versus.com but on UserBenchmark it shows GTX 970 have higher effective speed...

 

Now what's in my sights are a Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming (OC) vs a Sapphire RX 570 (4GB or 8 GB version), RX570 8GB version is about 15 USD cheaper and 4GB 25 USD cheaper comparing to the GTX970 OC. (And appears 8GB ones have higher clock rate?)

 

Which one should I go with?

I'd go with the RX 570 imo

8GB RX 570 for sure. That's a fantastic mid-low range card. The 970 was, but with only 3.5GB of (proper) VRAM, and givern that it's an older card, the 570 wins easily IMO.

i personally wouldnt get that weird vram configuration on that 970 so i prefer RX570 more.

I looked around and found couple 580 also fits in the budget, can you give me some insight which one should I pic?

Sadly I forgot to mention my system is based on a P45 mobo from Gigabyte which does not have UEFI... so unfortunately both RX card are out of the window... bummer...
