[SOLVED] Not sure about my next GPU

[Celavi]

So,as title says i can't choose which GPU to buy.I have 500w PSU 80+ bronze,4gigs of ddr2 RAM on 1066 and ddr2 MB also so as intel core 2 quad q9300.I have money to buy RX 570 4gb but i think it is an overkill for this PC,to mention that i will play games like PUBG,CS:GO,LOL...Is it better to buy rx 570 4gb or rx550 2gb as i said not for some hardcore gaming
Thanks for reply.

There is a minimum you should spend on a GPU in any given generation.

RX570 and GTX1650 Super are about it. Anything less and the performance per dollar really starts to be terrible. $100 GT1030 is bad investment. RX550 and RX560 lack in memory, a few too many variants to make an easy recommendation as well. RX570 with 4GB will let you avoid memory capacity issues.

When you are mixing old and new parts, don't worry too much about a bottleneck. If and when you upgrade, that is just one less part you have to replace immediately.

Thanks for answer,another question.Would previous gen rx470 be also good for upgrade(any upgrade is better from at the very moment 256mb integrated memory🙂)?

Not that much different from the 500 series, but you would be buying a fairly old card. I would say on principle no, but if the price is right, go for it.

Other plan would be to get something cheap to tide you over for a while. RX550 would be a big improvement over integrated, and you aren't losing much to ditch it later.

Just depends on what your future budgeting looks like and what you want to get out of the system today.
