Gtx 580

[Drakepc]

 I already own an rx 460 w ryzen 3. Someone is willing to sell me a gtx 580 for $40. I only have a 500w psu, is a gtx 580 worth it?/ will I get better performance?

your RX 460 is around ~20% faster than a GTX 580 in a gaming benchmark. 

 

No. You will lose significant performance. Your RX 460 also probably has a big increase in value due to crypto mining so its even more valuable.

Raw GPU performance might be slightly better on a GTX 580, however with its limited VRAM you're going to be hitting system memory with most current games and negating any possible benefit. Also it uses a whackton of power. For $40 it might be worth it if you didn't already have the RX 460, but since you already have the RX 460 it doesn't make any sense to get the GTX 580.

It's a 7 year old card. What do you think?

 

And no a 500w PSU would not be enough for it.

Last time I bought cards this old I paid $30 for a pair of them.

The GTX 580 benchmarks a bit higher than the RX 460, but it has less VRAM. Considering the 460's 2GB of vram is barely enough for new games, I feel that the GTX 480 would have some issues in more demanding games. The RX 460 is also much more efficient. Since you already own the RX 460, don't swap for the GTX 480.
