I have an AMD Rx 580 8gb. Should I sell it and get the new nvidia gpus that will come out soon. What price would the 580 sell at. The 580 I have is the reference model. I am also looking for a monitor, what irresolution should I look for. (monitor price is not that much of an issue). The gpu was not used for mining and its only 3 weeks old. I want to sell it so i can get something better to pair with my ryzen 1700x. If you want to buy let me know.
Thanks

1) pointless to speculate on new GPU's until we have more details.

2) something better? RX-580 is pretty good, not the best but it will get you most of the visual fidelity of even really demanding games like Far Cry 5 (the difference between "HIGH" and "ULTRA" is often quite small.

3) Monitor?
Monitors are expensive so what budget?

*My advice is put the money into a good Freesync monitor then just stick with the RX-580 for a couple more years.

depends on what your expectations are. if you plan on gaming at 1080p 60fps, then keep it it is still a good card. if you want to go to 1440p or higher refresh reate then sell it. you are talking about spending quite a bit more money to maximize the potential of a more powerful card

Is there a guess on the gtx 2060 or 2070 prices.
If I can get $300 for this 580, I can get a 1070 for around $350-$400 when the new GPU's come out. If the 2070s are around $400, then $100 isn't too bad for me

Then simply tweak the game settings towards the FPS goal. Since it's asynchronous the monitor refresh matches the FPS (or is a multiple if FPS is low such as 28FPS becomes "56Hz" or two refreshes per frame.)

EXAMPLES:
a) run Tomb Raider at either 1920x1080 or 2560x1440 plus the optimal visual settings to make it look best at 50FPS average, or

b) run OVERWATCH at closer to 100FPS (to be more responsive) and tweak settings accordingly.

kinda hard to say what the new prices are going to be. i would look more at what you are trying to acomplish 60fps? 140fps? 1080p? .....otherwise whats the point of having an overpowered card if you arent going to use it.......

take my words with a grain of salt as i type this on a 7700k that i use to watch youtube videos and game, we are all a lil nuts i guess

NEW NVIDIA:
Maybe you heard the new hype about Ray-Tracing but you should realize that:

1) games using that will be slow to trickle in, and
2) even when they do arrive Ray-Tracing may kill the FPS to the point it's not worth using (like PhysX often was and just left disabled then used years later once you got a faster GPU)

Now Tensor Cores might not actually be useful for other features so in that case it may not take away the FPS to use it but again we just don't have any info.

Remember the hype leading up to DX12 that it was supposed to vastly improve games? Things happen VERY SLOWLY in gaming development.
