Is it worth upgrading from a Strix 970 to a RX580 at 1440p? Or better wait for Vega? Not playing really high demanding games (Rocket League, War Thunder, Cities: Skylines) though...

Thanks :)

Vega, Definately. who knows it might be a titan (not like the nvidia card but the general idea of titans)

Nothing to see here, move along

Then you don't need to upgrade at all?

Not worth it for those games, not demanding enough. Wait for Vega if possible.

All I can say is that the 480 is a little better than the 970. Also AMD's drivers tend to support older cards for longer so buying one in the future could make some sense. I'm guessing that the 580 is going to be a little better than the 1060 6GB, can't say anyhting is set in concrete though, you'll have to wait

I'm pretty sure even a 380x would run those games at 1440p.
