980 ti

GTX 980 Ti is more powerful, about same as GTX 1070. Needs decent PSU though, good quality 550-650W.

RX 580 8GB more future proof also better supported with drivers for todays games, 980ti is relic it's budget material.

Apart from the fact the 980ti is considerably more powerful and Nvidia offer driver support for nearly a damn decade.

No see just cause RX 580 is newer doesn't mean anything; its barely as good in some games as GTX 1060, to which a 980 Ti will stomp all over, all day, every game...

980 Ti is far superior and should still last you many years.
580 on the other hand is barely enough to do well in some games cranked up at 1080p

At a rough guess you don't know better or are happy with your performance, neither is wrong technically, but with your games library not being shown it's hard to say if you have easy to run esport games or challenging giant open world titles like Wildlands and kingdom come.

Benchmarks still have 980ti winning 😋

980 Ti is 6GB FYI and it's easily 2x the performance of any 580 GPU
As a 980 Ti even stock is between a 1070 and 1070 Ti; which no 580 can come close to touching. You'd need a Vega-56 power wasting turd GPU to catch up, which is not worth buying.

VRAM don't mean very much by itself. 6GB is plenty even at 4K in most games.
Sure you CAN fully tax 5-6GB VRAM in some games in Ultra @ 1080p or 1440p, but the usage does not go up as much as you think just because you're upping the res to 4K. You'd basically have to using 8K textures (which I do for many parts of Fallout 4) and it's basically that kind of load where you need 8GB+ or in times to extreme cases of Super-Sampling or MSAA 8X and such

GTX 1080 and that is enough. Don't bother with 980TI.
