[SOLVED] I really can't choose, please help me!!!

[Wokizni]

I want to buy new GPU, my main problem is that I can't choose

Help me choose better one so it can serve me for 1-2 years

Sapphire NITRO+ RX580 4GB
or
MSI Armor RX570 8GB

My current PC specs:
Ryzen 3 2200G
8GB DDR4-2400
Asus PRIME A320M-K
EVGA B600 - 600W PSU
I think ssd and hdd are not important now

What do you use it for?

Unless you have something that could actually use the VRAM, the RX 580 will last you slightly longer.

I'm a web & graphics designer, and a casual gamer (CSGO, GTA5, PUBG), so im not a big gamer I dont play all day, I play for 2hrs per day, but I use PC all day everyday!

You'll get more fps on screen or higher detail settings out of the 580 on lower resolution monitors. On something like a 1440p monitor, the 580 will have larger frame drops on average, so might go from 60fps to 40fps, whereas the 570 might see 50fps to 35fps at that same game point.

But at 1080p, the cpu is more important than vram as long as there's sufficient vram to be had.

570 then. Vram being more important for work than fps for gaming.

None of these will really tax the VRAM of the 4GB card.

I agree. The RX 570 would pair better with the current psu.
The RX 580 is more likely to give it some trouble.

know you didnt ask but would going to 16gb ram be better for you as well?

 

[spentshells]

Maybe see if you can find a 1650 super. It should cost about the same, but the games you've chosen favor nvidia slightly, between the two cards you've chosen I would opt for the 580

3d and motion graphics can be seriously vram intensive, especially if spread out on 2 or more monitors. Simpler graphics like gifs and websites etc wouldn't be an issue at all.

Yeah I know I need more ram, but for now my budget is for GPU only, I will buy later better RAM, I know this sucks

Hey dude, thank you very much, I never searched for Nvidia GPU's, I had RX 480 and I sold it to buy better one, but I found Nvidia GTX 1660S for 50$ more than RX 580 4GB, I think GTX 1660S would use less power (W) than rx 580, and I also saw that its much much better in performance and it has 6GB Vram memory. What do you think, should I buy gtx 1660S

"Web and graphics designer" usually implies being in the 2D domains and the games they've mentioned aren't very VRAM intensive, even with 2 monitors.
