[Gee_Simpson]

Which is the better deal?

I'm guessing the RX 580 is the better deal out of the two? It's only solely for Football Manager 2020 and many editions beyond, FM is the only PC game I play, otherwise it's PlayStation for me. FM obviously isn't a graphics intensive game as you will probably already know. I was going to go for a 1660 Super or Vega 56 but then realised those are way overkill.

The GTX 1650 Super, more often than not, will outperform the RX 580. AMD's Polaris GPUs also use a lot more power than NVidia's Turing GPUs. You can also find a mid-range GTX 1650 Super for about $160 on Newegg, vs about $180 for a low-end RX 580.

I'm in the UK, and those prices I mentioned are the cheapest for both, so the 1650 is £25 more (with delivery). I have checked most benchmarks and the 580 comes out on top no? The lesser power consumption of the 1650 Super appeals to me but apart from that I'm not sure it's the better deal?

Any other input? Not sure which is the more sensible move.

They are for the most part equal. The biggest difference is that the 1650 super draws about half the power that the RX 580 does. If power and heat matters to you go for the 1650 super. Otherwise just get the cheaper card.

The power and heat worries me a little but as long as it runs smoothly then I wouldn't be too bothered. I'm just thinking with the 1650 being newer and will be supported better with updated drivers, it may end up surpassing the RX 580? If not I'll probably just go for the 580.

This may be muddying the waters, but I think AMD is still expected to release the RX 5500 this year sometime, which could be another contender.

Apparently December 12th. That's a good shout actually. I could probably play FM on the iGPU on the i9 9900k for now and wait to see how the RX 5500 is received. I've ordered a RX 580 for £125 which will be here tomorrow but I could send it back if the 5500 is worth it.

According to AMD's own benchmarks of the RX 5500 it will surpass the RX 580.

Thanks. I'll keep the RX 580 unopened with me just in case but will send it back if this proves to be the case and the RX 5500 is a low price.
