If monitor is 1080p 60Hz, get RX580 8gb if freesync, otherwise 1060 6gb is good too. If monitor is 1080p 144Hz, GTX1070.

What is free sync sorry? I also have 2 monitors, I'm not sure if this changes anything.

vapour · Dec 27, 2017

Google your monitor model number and check if they have freesync included, it is an open source software embedded in some monitors that can do dynamic frame rate with AMD GPUs. As long as one of the monitor has it, go with RX580, otherwise, GTX1060 is better due to lower price with similar performance.

If you have a 60 refresh rate then freesync or gsync dont even matter.

Honestly, from an R9 380, an RX 580 or GTX 1060 would be a modest upgrade. The Ryzen 5 1600 has enough capability that it won't bottleneck a 1070 or 1080 and either of those would be a huge upgrade. I'd also recommend a Vega 56, but good luck finding one at a reasonable price.

^ far more than a 'modest' upgrade believe me

The 380 isn't as atrong as a 1050ti in more current titles.

Youre talking a 75-80% performance increase with a 580 or 1060

justin.m.beauvais · Dec 27, 2017

I would use the word modest. I went from an R9 270X to an RX 480 and modest was what I got. You can judge by benchmarks all you want, but day to day, modest is exactly the word I would use to describe that upgrade, even if the benchmarks say I should have increased by 80% in performance. To be honest, I regret not spending more.

Zerk2012 · Dec 27, 2017

Gtx 1060 6GB is about a 60% performance increase.
If your gaming on one monitor 1080p @60 HZ then a 1060 would be good.
If your resolution is 1440p then GTX 1070ti.
No reason even to consider a 1070 since the price is about the same as the TI.
