Video card recommendation

[teamkiller]

Hmm i'am not planning on playing in 4K (don't even have a monitor). And I don't play resource hungry FPS games. Only FPS i occasionally play is Overwatch. I'am also more than happy to play games on normal to high settings, don't really need everything on ultra. I just need a card that is relatively, and i'am using this word lightly, future-proof. And i'am not in the position to drop $500+ on a GTX 1080.

I will of course upgrade my mobo+processor, PSU and monitor sometime next year. It's just that right now, my GTX 750Ti is starting to show it's age with some of the newer games and i can afford to invest $200 on a card and i imagine i will need it with stuff like Middle Earth : Shadow of War coming out this year.

So can my current specs run the rx570/580? or should i hold out till i can get the PSU and the card.

Since you don't play at 4k, unlike the op, your recommendation will change. I assumed you wanted 4k, my apologies.

a 1060 @3gb should be more than sufficient. Its about as strong as the 570 but is nearly 50$ cheaper. Nvidia cards are also typically less of a power hog.

http://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare...-Ti/3646vs3649 (a comparison of the 1060 to the 1050ti your 30$ is very well spent upgrading to the 1060 a 70% boost for a ~25% boost in cost)

Your choice will come down to preference. On a side note, going GPU to GPU of the same engineering (nvidia/amd) is almost always a smoother installation process than switching teams.

If you're looking to reduce your replacement rate on your gpu, try to save an extra 150 and go for the 1070. I realize that may not be possible but really is the best course of action.

This is way off.

RX 570 - 150-190W
RX 580 - 190-230W
RAM+MoBo - 30W tops
Fans (typical 120mm) - 5x3=15W
i5-7600K - 60W (stock, gaming load) - 110W (5GHz, benchmark load)
Storage devices, fan controllers, AIO pumps, LED strips not included.

So assuming OP is using an i5 and a RX 580 he's in the clear, but he doesnt really have much headroom to upgrade. I'd recommend a good 600W PSU when running an overclocked i7/R5 or even 700W in the case of X99/R7. RX 580 is a really power hungry card.

Hmm, I have an overclocked 5820K at 4.3 Ghz, RX 480, 3 HDDs, 2 SSDs, 4 case fans, 2 fans on the CPU cooler, and I'm not even stretching my 650 watt PSU.

The RX580 is not a REALLY power hungry card, the GTX 480 is a REALLY hungry card, the next card in line for that is the AMD 290X, the RX 580 is within the realm of the Nvidia 970 power consumption, would you call that card REALLY power hungry?

3gb 1060 is $50 cheaper than a 570? What world are you living in? Oh, nvm, you get your information from userbenchmark, horrible site. They are the same price and IMO the 570 is the better choice. The 3gb 1060 really should probably not even exist.

Maybe not 50$ but 40$ is certainly close enough.

I do not use Pcpartpicker to look up prices. If i'm going to recommend something, it will be a retailer i trust, sorry (as the only cheaper prices was from superbiiz).
Also, that "sale" on the 1060 has been going on since i last posted.

As of right now its look for the cheaper of those two cards. When they benchmark within 5% of each other, their performance will vary from game to game relative to each other. Wow still prefers nvidia as do many of blizzards games. I'm all for backing AMD but in this case just becuase of sales and such nvidia does win.

Ok, os you get that info by completely ignoring a valid retailer. Gotcha. Superbiiz is fine, bought stuff from them a few times and know several people who have as well.

I probably should also note, all cards marked cheaper than 190.00 on pcpartpicker @ superbiiz are all sold out. Amazon nor newegg will price match things sold out as far as i know. If you use them that's fine, then make a counter recommendation with a link. You should have access to that. I won't recommend a seller without known purchases from them as I'm not going to research new companies return policies and RMA claim reviews or how they ship their products. (unless im personally buying from them)
