So im struggling to find a gpu for my system that is good for a budget, as i have spent way more than i should have for my system. I am wondering weather i should go with a 1050 ti from asus, or a rx580 from gigabyte. Theirs about a 50 to 60 dollar price difference between the two. I know one has 4gb of vram and the other has 8gb. According to newegg, the 1050 ti is faster, they also have better, more stable drivers, however the rx580 has more v ram, little less speed(like 120 mhz) but once again, the high price tag. I want the best gpu, that wont bottleneck, and also can be for a budget system. I dont really want to spend a whole ton more on this system as its tallying upwards of $750. If anyone could help me that would be great.
My system:
Ryzen 5 2400g
Asrock ab350m pro 4 motherboard
Corsair vengence lpx 3200 ram (running at 2666 because i cant get it to run at 3200 wo crashing)
pny 120 gb ssd, wd blue 1tb hdd.

580. The gtx 1060 6gb and rx 580 8gb are in the same class of GPUs. Both are roughly the same. It’s easier to get a better 1060 for oc because of less power requirements while it’s harder to find a 8+6-pin 580 for higher oc for good prices. 8-pin version can’t oc as high because it runs out of power
Clock speed between different GPUs manufacturers have no meaning

If you're looking at the GPU clock speed to determine with card is more powerful, that's not how it works. As said above, the RX 580 is far more powerful than the 1050 Ti. And a lot of what you read about drivers is just personal anecdotes and historical bias, AMD drivers are just fine.

The worst Rx580 can easily handle just about anything on ultra settings at 1080p, and a good majority of games at 1440p/60Hz. The best 1050ti can handle some games on ultra, most on med to high settings at 1080p and good luck with 1440p/60Hz.

Like trying to compare a moped to a motorcycle.

I don’t plan on overclocking because it can shorten the life span of the card. I’m looking for the best card for my money. I wouldn’t want to make the 2400g fall back because it doesn’t have a gpu to max out it’s preformance.

Oh, sorry, didn’t realize I was on a different account.

Really? I’ve always been told that it will shorten the life span because it puts more strain on the component, generating more heat, etc.

Yes and no. Any cpu/gpu is built to withstand the functional clocks etc of the reference design, and then some. Every single 3rd party aftermarket gpu is nothing more than a reference card with some factory overclocking added. Even going to a custom pcb, a Evga 1060 6Gb FTW is still at heart a nvidia gtx1060 6Gb. It's just got some serious OC added and the cooling capacity to match. Being open ended, there's still room for a user to add more, limited only by the cooling, the users knowledge and the silicon lottery.

I've had my gtx 660ti and gtx970 sitting at 124% OC for the better part of 5 years and not an issue.

Of course if you do go for the cheapest possible design, it'll have the cheapest possible cooling ability, and the smallest overall ability to OC, leading to the largest gain in temps. If heavy gaming doesn't take the gpu past @80°C maxed out, it's all good with the heat values. If it gets past it, there's an issue with either the cooling, the OC, or case airflow.
