Hi i have a Evga GTX 670 2gb and im thinking of up grading to a Radeon rx 580 red dragon v2 8192mb - my question is, is it worth the upgrade will i notice any difference ?

Thanks

Well i am dead wrong according to that.

The only benchmarks i find on anandtech shows the gtx 1060 has a lead over the rx 580 but it isn't perhaps the gpu models the op wants though you see.

The RX 580 and GTX 1060 are very similar in performance. Also not sure why you are showing 4K benchmarks. Both of those gpu's are meant for 1080p gaming.

Because 1080p never shows the cards' absolute performance potential.
RX 590 is not built for 1080p, probably part of its CUs are idling.

Even my Sapphire Nitro R9 380 is not for 1080p, its box proudly states for 1440p http://www.sapphiretech.com/productdetial.asp?pid=421F760D-5247-4A25-BA5D-74A7A3139CD7&lang=deu

It is a low/mid range gpu. Yes you can do 1440p depending on the game/settings but with the RX 580/590 or GTX 1060 you are better off sticking at 1080p. Also the majority of people looking at a gpu like this will more than likely have a 1080p screen.
 
No sure what PSU the OP has, but it's worth bearing in mind that a RX 590 is going to require a chunk more power than a 580.

I'd do what lee32uk said, and grab the Gigabyte RX 580. Use the £40 saved on something else.

Just to understand what you mean by chunk? I personally don't consider between 4-10w a chunk.
