Upgrade 1050 ro RX570 or 580, make sense ?

[Wendigo]

Hi guys,
I currently have a EVGA 1050 2GB (Ryzen 1200 @ 3.5, 16GB DDR3000) and a I'm casual gamer playing at 1080p/60.

I've just noticed that AMD now offers a "Raise the game" bundle when buying a RX570 or a RX580. It happens that I'm planning to but two of the games in this bundle (AC Odyssey and Stange Brigade), no matter why. So, I'm wondering if it would not be a better idea to buy a video card with the games instead a paying for the game only. By reselling the 1050, it would mean a no cost upgrade for a RX570 4GB or only cost a few 10$ for a RX580 8GB. Both seeming to be a significant upgrade from my actual GTX1050 2GB.

Does it make sense or am I missing something ? Would the extra money for the RX580 8GB worth it relative to the 570 4GB ?

Short answer is, yes. The extra few quid is worth it for the 580. Okay, so you're only gaming at 1080p 60hz now. The RX580 is good for ultra settings 1080p and in some games would push 100hz. It's also very decent for 1440p where the 8gb vram comes in handy. If you had the choice of the two, and there was only a few $ in the difference, then it's a no-brainer.

including the game or not!

Thanks Keith!

I don't know if it's OK to put links on TH forums, but just to be more specific here are the two cards I'm looking at:
PowerColor RED DRAGON Radeon RX 570 4GB for 215 $CAN (about 165 $US)
MSI Radeon RX 580 8GB for 280 $CAN after MIR (about 215 $US)

No probs, you're welcome, and apologies for the late reply.

Answer is very much the same. Get the 580. Much better and stronger GPU. The 570 is no slouch at 1080p, but the 580 is really good at that res and slightly beyond. Even having to wait on rebates it's still sooo worth it!
