Hi

I have had the same graphics card for about 4 years (7850). I don't really play games that are that graphically demanding (Fallout 4, STASIS, Bards Tale currently in progress) and don't have any concerns with the quality I am playing games at. Got my eye on some of the stuff that's due out (Cyberpunk etc) and wondering if its time for an update. Is a 570 or 580 going to make a significant difference? They seem to be in the sort of budget I was thinking of (bit of Xmas £ as presents). I game at 1920 x 1080 and have an i5-3450 at stock with 8Gb of RAM. Would this be a sensible upgrade or is everything else holding it back?

Cheers
 
If you're not experiencing issues currently, you gotta ask yourself if it's worth it.
Cyberpunk is ages off yet so I wouldn't bother upgrading if that's all you really want to upgrade for.
 
I would wait until you have a game or app that doesnt run as well as you like. Games get delayed and new gpus appear all the time.
Andi.
