RX 570 vs RX 580 whats the difference ?
all reviews i've seen compare the 570 4gb against the 580 8gb but you can get a 4gb 580 and 8gb 570. sp what is the real difference between the two ?

It's a little bit faster. What do the reviews say?
Long story short on average the 580 is 10% to 15% faster but the are comparing a 4gb to a 8gb card. I'm also considering that new 8gb 570 is £50 cheaper the the 8gb 580 but the 4gb 580 and 570 are around the same price.

so I dont really see the fair comparison.

The 580 is 10-15% better as you have seen. So it will give you smoother game play or better graphics.

What monitor do you have? Going off your old GPU your not a gamer so just stick with that or get something cheap.

Why do you need a new GPU ?

I have a Samsung SyncMaster 305T I have a RX 235 at the moment and had a 280x before.
I need a new GPU because the GPU I have at the moment is only basic. I waited last year due to the stupid prices and I just want to do a little research before i jump in.

Guessing the monitor is a few years old? Bit more than 1080p bit any of them cards will be fine.

If you must go AMD i wouldIget the 590. If you have more cash to spend get something better. Not much of a improvement from the 280x.

I've got a 980ti So when I upgrade I want to be like wow. From a 280 to 580/90 you wouldn't. But it depends on your budget.

Edit. Just doubled checked the monitor. You need Vega 56 or better minimum or your FPS or detail will suffer big time. I didn't look properly and I thought it was a 1200p monitor so scrap the first bit

Which one the 570 or 580 its not a fair comparison and I cant see any difference in the 2 other then the vram unless ive missed something.

The reason the RX 580 is faster is because it has

12.5% more cores
7.72% faster processor
14.29% higher memory clock over the same 256bit bus which allows for 14.29% higher memory bandwidth

Put all this together and you have a card that's about 10-15% faster for 26% more money (based off overclockers current pricing)

I was looking at AMD due to the price v performance, So whatever best value for money.
I dont want to push the boat out at the moment because Im not a heavy gamer and ive not played PC games in a few years so I dont know how much use it will get but I want to get something that will do the job and not be broke after.

I did think of vega but its outside my budget and it my drop by a good amount in a few month.

Thanks that was very helpful, so its more then just the ram.

I always you that as a reference when buying.

I have a 980ti and a 1440 monitor. My GPU is starting to sturggle a tiny bit in the games I play so you need something better than that as your monitor is higher resolution. Hope that helps as you don't want to waste cash or be disappointed?
Thanks ill take a look,

I would have looked at used cards also but at the moment its hard to find anything and the ones do come alo9ng have been used for mining within a inch of life.

I'm flexible with bands AMD or Nvidia I dont really care but I cant make my mind up at the moment on what I need want or should spend.

Nvidea prices are a little high considering the age of the cards, I have no idea about graphics cards so im asking questions, going by the review AMD seam to be better value at the moment.

I buy used and use the MM. You need something like a 1070ti power or better. Or a different (lower spec) monitor

The weird thing is on one game the gap is 60 to 100 frames between the 2. As a 570 owner I hope this isn't a sign of things to come
