GTX 770 2gb to RX 570 4gb

[Denzel_2]

I am interested in upgrading to a RX 570 4gb to a GTX 770. The gtx 770 gets very hot and is very loud. The gtx 770 barely manages to get 60fps on low settings 1080p on Rainbow Six Siege. Is the upgrade worth it? Or should I wait?
The RX 570 is $185.50 USD/ $250 AUS.

570 is approximately 30% faster.

What are the rest of your components?

Your CPU is most likely holding you down in this game way more than the GPU. If you monitor your CPU usage while gaming, I bet it is 100% all the time. A classic example of CPU bottleneck. Check and report back.

This game needs a quad core as a minimum (your CPU has 2 cores with HT, thus having 4 threads overall, but this is still slower than a true quad core like i5). And even an i5 can barely be considered adequate for most CPU-intensive games today (that is, i5 with 4 cores - i5s from 8th gen and above have 6 cores and that's perfecly fine).

I higher doubt it is bottlenecking the gtx 770 as many other people achieve over 100fps with the g4560 on MAX settings instead of low settings.

Check the usage, if it is not 100% while gaming, that GPU upgrade could help. But that game surely is a CPU hog.

How hot is the gtx 770 getting? if its throttling you might get a significant performance boost just by sorting the cooling out (cleaning out the heatsink and re pasting).
