GRAPHICS CARD

[Zephilia]

Hey guys, I am planning to buy a GPU for my rig, i5-6600k 8gb ram. What is the best option in terms of price to performance? My choices are SAPPHIRE RX 580 PULSE 4GB for 195$, GIGABYTE RX 580 8GB Gaming MI OEM for 230$, and a GTX 1050 Ti for 145$. These GPUs are priced in my country right now, and is for sale. What are your thoughts guys? Need some help, thank you!

RX 580 is the best price/performance card currently, unless you factor in used 1070s, 1080s, and 1080TIs on Ebay.

 

If you're buying new, I would go for the RX 580 8GB.

30$ more is worth for the extra 4gb? I mostly play online games.

The extra 4GB will last longer as games get more demanding.

I see. Thank you so much for the enlightenment.

@Crunchy Dragon In the end, I got the RX 580 Sapphire Pulse 4GB because it was the only available by the time I was gonna order, the 8GB was sold out >.<. It'll be shipped tomorrow. So, currently my rig is powered by the iGPU (Intel HD 530). And here is my question, if I installed the GPU and connect it to my monitor, will the iGPU be disabled automatically or do I still need to disable in the BIOS? And so all I need are the drivers for the GPU to work properly. Thank you so much.

You will need to disable the iGPU manually if you want it disabled, however the board should automatically use the dGPU.

So there won't be any problems even if I do not

So there will be no problems even if I don't disable the iGPU? Also which one is the proper and latest driver for my GPU? I'm quite confused. 1st pic is from AMD itself - https://www.amd.com/en/support/graphics/radeon-500-series/radeon-rx-500-series/radeon-rx-580 and 2nd pic is from SAPPHIRE - http://www.sapphiretech.com/productdetial.asp?pid=77B48A1E-9FCB-4F19-BC2D-17C3087E4852&lang=eng

There will be no problems if you keep the iGPU enabled.

 

I would get the drivers from AMD, personally.
