From GTX760 2GB to RX570 4GB

[InfinityJosh]

Is it worth it?

I don't need to play all games in next years at max settings, only DOOM and DiRT4 at stable 60fps 1920x1080p high settings.
If will be released a new interesting game I would sell this GPU and replace it.
So no futureproof needed just here and now.
(I like only a few games series: Duke Nukem-Serious Sam-Age of Empires-Grid-Dirt and maybe DOOM).
No GTA, COD, BF, and others.
I have i7 4771, 8gb ram.
My only indecision is about the reliability of this GPU and AMD drivers (especially I found a video of Linus on YouTube which shows minimum frames lower than RX470 and GTX1050ti but it could be a temporary driver bug).

So, RX570 4GB best buy or best trap?

Future proofing = buying a more powerful pc so it will last a couple years longer before you need to upgrade.

Buy i3 now = upgrade in 2 years
Buy i7 now = upgrade in 4 years

I7 should be more futureproof than 4 years I think, my 4771 is around 3.5 years and only 10-20% slower than newest i7.
I saw someone still playing with 920 (of course a slower but with a good GPU it could catch up).
Probably a 920+GTX 1070=4790+1060.

First gen i7 CPU are similair to preformance to the pentium g4560 so yes you can still game on them.

[InfinityJosh]

G4560 seems great for its price.
30% less fps but 250$ less, good for an anti Scorpio machine.

I'm just going to say NO as in i7 920 good and G4560 not close to i7 920.

And leave that there ^, G4560 looses to FX8xxx in modern games or and are very close so I wouldn't be putting the G4560 on any type of pedestal.

I was going to say 920=60% 4790k but 920 had 970 instead of 960, wow other benchmarks say those CPUs are closer.

i7 920 vs g4560 http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Pentium-G4560-vs-Intel-Core-i7-920/3892vs1981

i7 980 vs g4560 http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Pentium-G4560-vs-Intel-Core-i7-980/3892vsm3336

In actual compute power the pentium g4560 is about the same as a early i7. Yes performance in games might differ.

[InfinityJosh]

For DOOM a Pentium 4 could be enough XD.

I have an RX 470 4GB, and have made a number of benchmark videos with it if you're curious. (The RX 570 is an updated 470). I have it paired with a Core i5-4590. It's a good card - I have the MSI Armor OC version - but don't expect to max the settings of recent games. I haven't had an issue with Radeon drivers going back about 3 years now (including my previous gpu, an R7 260X).

If you can find an RX 570 for around ~$150, it's a good value. And I have played a few games that needed more than 3GB of vram (Arkham Knight, Assassin's Creed Unity), so I'm glad I went with the 470 over the 3GB GTX 1060.

To put things in perspective, a RX 570 is 88% faster than the GTX 760

[Nabster]

You would want 480 if it is similar priced, some shop jack up the price of new card. 480 is slightly faster than 570

Get Nitro+ Rx480 with 2 8pin, flash to Rx580.
