So, I've got a budget from my dad. I'm a student, my GPU is hinting some problems so wanted to replace it. It's a RX 580 Sapphire SE. In my currency, the budget is around RM1600. I am on dilemma on choosing a RX 5600 XT (Gaming X or Pulse) (Around RM1500), there is no stock yet, so I'm willing to wait till new year. The next option is going for a RX 5500 XT (RM800 - RM1K) and an IPS monitor 1080p 144hz. Asus VP249QGR or AOC 24G2. I play a lot of Valorant. But when some of the Triple A games interest me. I will play it too. MHW, GTA V, AC, COD MW, CP2077 (Yes, I know it's buggy).
 
Solution
The 5600 XT is significantly more powerful than the 5500 XT. Don't buy the 5500 XT; it's barely any more powerful than your 580 and would be an underwhelming upgrade.
