Any reason to upgrade from my 960 4gb to a rx 580 8gb?:

NTDaws

It's about 2x the speed of the 960 , and has double the vram . It's up to you really and the games you play. If all you play is CSGO and LOL , then the 960 will serve you very well.

Does the 960 satisfy you? Can you spend the money? Do you need the extra preformance?

I can do what I need, I just wanna know if it's worth it.

Honestly no, Vega is right around the corner might as well wait for that.

if you want to know the truth I'd wait for vega then decide. Your 960 runs pretty much anything 1080p medium/high and that 580 would do 1080p ultra 60+fps. If thats enough for you to want it, then get it

Bit of an AMD fan I suppose. I don't bias my replies to anything however, I just prefer AMD and their products. Buy whatever the H*CK you want.

That's enough for me, I just bought a new 1080p monitor (tn kill me) and it's a charm ;)

Vega is high end though.... No Vega card will cost less than $300.

You mean around $400, but yeah I get it. It stil isn't worth it though 960 works well enough for now.

I think that they may have a 1070 competitor for $350 or so, but yeah, Vega ain't gonna be cheap

Absolutely. The 1060 and 480/580 are about 80 - 90% faster than the 960. You'll be essentially doubling your performance.
