Yes it will, but it isn't really worth the huge leap in price.

Should I wait until the mining bubble bursts so I can get a RX 580?

You kinda better off to buy all the way to GTX 1060. The price you pay for that upgrade isn't the best performance for your money

Man I wish I had that profit margin. I bought my R9 380x for $130 brand new and sold it for $220 last week.

That's still not horrible depending how long ago you bought it. Considering some people got them, 2 years ago and were gonna sell them anyways making the money back that you originally payed for it is nice

Hello, 

I am trying to upgrade from R7 360 to RX 580 or 1050 ti, but with this mining crisis going on the prices are skyrocketing.. not sure if the 1050 ti's price also increased (Please tell me if it did)

I want to play Overwatch EPIC 60+ fps.. and ESO Ultra 60+ fps.. right now I am playing High settings 50+ fps (minimum.48fps) on ESO, I want to play Ultra settings 60+ fps. I am located in Australia

My CPU is:

i5 4460 and 16GB RAM

Thanks

Definitely wait for the 580. To my knowledge the 1050ti price hasn't changed, but the 580 would be perfect for you. Just wait a couple of weeks and the price will come down. There is a HUGE performance difference between the 580 and 1050ti

1060s are just as overpriced as RX 580s

Nah man the 1060s are also outrageously priced, similar to 580. And the 580 also has better performance so once the prices come down go for the RX 580
