King of 1080p gaming

[Torm]

Hello all, 

 

I'm wondering if you could advise me about my next upgrade to my PC. I recently bought 1080p 144Hz monitor so I'm all about that raw FPS instead of upgrading to 1440p. My current rig can be viewed below. So I'm debating whether it is time to upgrade my current GPU AMD RX480 8G. People would most likely suggest upgrading to RX580, but is it with it? And if I go something like RX5700 or 1660ti or 2060S isn't it overkill? Also what about my PSU? Would 550 Gold Seasonic handle it? 

I use my PC solely to game. I play the most World of Warcraft but I like to try out new games also. When I hit 30 FPS in newest Tomb Raider it was kinda a wake up call.

RX580 is basically RX480 OC. There is absolutely no point to get the 580.

Fixed, it should no longer be private.

That's basically what I'm coming from. If I would upgrade it would have to be something like RX5700 or 1660ti or 2060S, but is that something interesting for me? Would it be worth it for 1080p high FPS Gaming?

the performance difference is large enough for it to be worth it, look at benchmarks and decide for yourself if the fps increase makes sense to you

The RX 570 is the 1080p king. You have an RX 480 which performs very similarly, so..unless you want 60fps ultra on every game, I don't see a reason to upgrade.

 

An RX 5700 would be a good upgrade, or 2060/2060 Super if you really want ray tracing. I wouldn't upgrade yet, I'd give it another generation. It may also be worth waiting for the RX 5600 which should be here soon, as that will be the Polaris successor.

Since I already have 144 Hz monitor I would like to get above 60 FPS, if I could get to something like double that number I would love it. Haven't considered RX5600 which could be the way to go. Interesting thought.

go with 5700/xt, (although it shall be heavily held back by your i3... but you could upgrade to ryzen)

i dont think 1660ti will satisfy your monitor on ultra setting

No, GTX970 is the King for 1080p 60fps high settings

nearly identical (stock) perf as RX570 but release 2.5yr earlier than the 570

not to mention 970 overclocks pretty good but its MSRP was sure higher

Outside of the stutter you will experience with the 8350k. The rx 5700 would not be a bad pickup.

CPU is the next in the line after GPU. But I will probably have to update PSU as well, not too excited about that
