is it worth to get the rx 580 8gb version ?

Huybv1998 · Apr 24, 2017

Currently, i have a gtx 1060 6gb version. In the benchmark, i saw the rx 580 beating the gtx 1060 in almost 80-90% of games. So that, should i sell my gtx 1060, get the rx 580 instead ? I'll also plan to upgrade my 550w psu to the 750w psu.
My current specs:
core i5 7600k
msi gtx 1060 6gb gaming x
msi z170a krait gaming
16gb of ram ddr4 2400mhz

No, if you already have a 1060( or even a 480), it wouldn't be a noticeable upgrade unless you were planning on getting a FreeSync monitor. Also unless your current PSU is some offbrand model, 550W is just fine for basically any single GPU system.

The difference between those cards is not big, like few FPS. Simply put, it's not well spent money. But if money is not an issue, and all you want is performance - then why not.

beating by perhaps 3 frames per second

if yours is not a gtx 1060 3 gbs, don't bother

if it is a 3 gbs 1060, it could be a improvement

basically, the 580 is almost a 'half gen' improvement.
Its for people still using a 380 or older GPU to upgrade.
