I have a AMD Radeon 8570 with 2GB DDR5 RAM is it worth paying $24 and getting a used Radeon HD 5770 of ebay with only 1GB of RAM but performs a bit better then the card i already got now?

You own the GDDR5 version of the 8570 so it's not worth it. For games these days you really need the 2Gb VRAM. GPU boss uses a GDDR3 version by the way, which is slower than yours.

Games that came out in the last year or so will need at least 2GB of ram so save your money till you can afford something that's really better.

oh hey there want to dance?

 

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.1 Corinthians 13:4
