GPU upgrade

[vonStrucker]

Hey guys, I'm considering upgrading from my GTX 750Ti to a RX 570 4GB, which i can get for around $60. I think it's a better option than buying a bit better card for way more money since it's so cheap. What do you guys think? Does the 570 still hold up today? How future proof do you think it is? Should i go for it? Or I can maybe get RX 580 8GB for $90. I'm on a really tight budget so the lower the price the better.

 

System

Ryzen 5 1600
2x8GB 2666Hz DDR4
450W PSU

GTX 750Ti

What resolution & refresh rate? It won't matter. That 570 should blow that 750ti right out of the water. I'd say it's a no brainier for $60.

I'm fine with even 30FPS and my monitor is 1920x1200

Do you think that my 450W psu is enough? I don't want to need to buy a beefier one.

If you are getting a rx570 30 fps isnt an option my dude, that will produce frames like hell. I would personally go for a rx 580, but if you have found a rx 570 for 60 bucks, then thats the best option you could ever get! wish i found an option like that when i bought a new gpu, sadly i only found an old rx480 for bout 100$. but i say go for it! That rx 570 will hold up perfectly fine for at least 2-4 years to come. But then you can decide if you want to spend 90 bucks on about 7-10% faster speed, in mostly everything, then get the rx 580

Yeah that 570 would work well for you.

Nah, that should be fine. AMD gpus do usually need a bit more power than nvidia but i dont think that PSU will fail. Most people say 450w is minimum, but dont let that scare you, it will do it fine.

450w will be fine.

Ok, thanks a lot guys. I'm gonna wait for two days since the 580 is an online auction and if that fails I'll buy that 570!

Sure thing!

It is done! I bought the 580 8gb for about 100 dollars. I thought it would be more futurre proof with the larger vram size.

Nice. You're going to love it coming from a 750ti. Put that one up for sale and make a little back.
