[SOLVED] Rx 580 8gb or rx 570 4gb

[Neeraj_kr]

Hello guys,
I'm building a budget gaming pc with i3 9100f (can't change this) and wanted some advice for gpu. After seeing some benchmarks i3 9100f bottlenecks in a few games which is not a problem for me rn. My target is 1080p medium-ultra settings around 60fps
So should i buy
rx 580 8gb :-

Or go with rx 570 4gb

Thanks

get the 580. 4GB Vram is terrible in 2019.

For that configuration, the RX 570 is plenty. You'll never be able to fully make use of the RX 580 anyhow so unless you plan to upgrade the CPU very soon, buying that card would be a waste of your money. You would have much better parity with your CPU going with the 570.

I would agree with @Darkbreeze - I note you mention medium-to-ultra - if you're happy enough with medium-to-high (depending on the game) settings, at 1920x1080, the 4GB VRAM is not going to be a problem for that resolution, and you should be able to average around 60 fps.

You'll definitely get more from an RX 580, but I'm seeing the price as ₹ 12,200.00 for the 570 and ₹ 15,999.00 for the 580. You're not going to get enough extra performance to justify a 31% higher price, in my opinion.

You could get Ultra 1080p on many games using the RX580, but with that CPU you would almost never, or very rarely, be able to manage 60fps or higher.

That RX580 is not worth the 30% price premium for the 10-15% improvement in performance it would give you. Go with the 570

But the benchmarks show more than 60 fps in most games

While not the "best of the best" available, the 9100F is a fine CPU. No worries.

Sure, there are probably situations where you CAN get to 60fps, but if you look closely there are MANY settings not on ultra. Most are on high, a few are on low, depending on what game they are showing, and those are not particularly demanding games from the few that I watched on that.

So, go for it if you like. There ARE going to be games that you don't see that kind of performance in, or can't sustain over 60fps because the game is particularly demanding and is highly threaded, and on those types of games you're going to fade a bit. But it can certainly play. Much better than some systems I see people trying to play on. I'm just saying, that you could likely do that just as well with the 570 if you're going to have to drop a bunch of settings anyhow. Some games can be played on a potato. Others, not so much. Really it depends on a per game basis and whether that game is primarily single core focused.

Here's some CPU comparison benchmarks.
They're using a GTX1080 to remove any GPU limitations, but at least you can see where the i3-8100/i3-9100 compares to many other popular CPUs these days.

Also

Since the CPU is a done deal, this is getting off topic.
