Sapphire RX 580 4GB or Sapphire RX 580 4GB Nitro or Sapphire RX 570 8GB Nitro

My rig is a Q9550 planning to swap it out when RTX is worth to upgrade to. Plus the next foresee-able game I wanted to play have recommended GPU listed 1060.

 

Since it won't be a next-5-year upgrade my budget is about 100 USD and it lead to following choice:

 

Sapphire RX 570 8G Nitro (688 local/ 98.3 USD)

Power 6+8pin

Core Freq 1340 (higher than regular 1284)

Vcore Freq 7000Mhz

Cuda 2048

8GB DDR5

RGB

 

Sapphire RX 580 4G (655 local/ 93.6 USD)

Power 8pin

Core Freq 1306/1366

Vcore Freq 7000Mhz

Cuda 2304

4GB DDR5

no RGB

 

Sapphire RX 580 4G Nitro(688 local/ 98.3 USD)

Power 6+8pin

Core Freq 1340/1411

Vcore Freq 7000Mhz

Cuda 2304

4GB DDR5

RGB

 

I game on a 2560x1440 monitor but won't mind game in 1080p in Windowed mode or step down on graphics.

580 nitro will be my choice

 

580 has more cores than 570, so as long as you keep the graphics settings low enough to not surpass the VRAM limit it will be faster.

 

that's very little extra money for RGB and potentially greater overclocking headroom and better PCB

Yeah I figured a faster GPU would be more important than bigger Vram, just like getting a bigger straw vs a bigger bottle...
