[SOLVED] reasonable upgrade to gtx970?

[jonomaia123]

Hey guys. i was thinking of upgrading my gtx 970 this month.
for reasons of money and the fact of living in brazil, i don't have a lot of options right now, so i thought about selling my gtx970 and getting a RX580 8gb with just a little money to add.
Yes, its gains in performance are small and occasional, but, from the benchmarks that i saw, some games do reach out some 10, 15 fps more and i think that it is enough. and the extra gigs in vram would help me run games like forza that eat a lot of it.
its a R$900 sell to a R$1150 buy.
Do you guys think it is worth it or not?

The question is, is it "worth it" to you.
In the end you are the one who has to pay for it, and you already know the numbers from the benchmark and the FPS gains you'll receive from it.

In my personal opinion, no i wouldn't do the upgrade as an overall 10% increase in performance isn't that significant. I'd hold off and wait for a better deal on something better.

Maybe wait for 2060 in a couple of weeks. Apparently it'll trade blows with 1070Ti or push prices lower for 1060, maybe.
