[SOLVED] Value GPU - ASUS GTX 1050 Expedition 2GB vs GIgabyte AORUS RX 570 4GB

[dyn5203]

Hi, I am struggling whether to buy the ASUS GTX 1050 Expedition 2GB or GIgabyte AORUS RX 570 4GB, given the price difference is 50 bucks.

ASUS GTX 1050 Expedition 2GB : 91 USD, 4 years warranty
GIgabyte AORUS RX 570 4GB: 141 USD, free WorldWarZ&Division2, 3 years warranty

My main concern of picking the RX 570 is the lifespan of GPU, AMD card tends to draw more power and generate more heat, I am afraid it wont stay longer than 4 years(my HD 7750 died after 4 year, so AMD card gives me bad experience). The free games worth 20 bucks to me as I am not interested in the 2 titles. On the other hand, the GTX 1050 Expedition series main selling point is its extended lifespan of GPU(Gone through series of test), which I expect it to last for at least 7 years like my friend's ASUS GTX 660?

System Specs:
CPU: i3 6100
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-H110M-DS2
PSU: FSP Hyper K 500w
SSD: Intel 120GB
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7.2K RPM
RAM: Kingston Value Ram 4GB DDR4 2133Mhz + Apacer Panther 4GB DDR4 2666Mhz

Location: Malaysia

Owners of both GPU are welcomed to give comment and advice.
Thanks for your time.

AMD cards can last a lot longer than 4yrs. My 7950/R9 280 was doing great up until my house burned down I think I bought it in 2012 or 2013. I've owned other cards like the incredible 9700 which lasted around 10yrs I think before I replaced. AMD cards don't have a 4 year life span.

The 570 is the better card. More ram, and is similar to the 1060 3GB. This is reflected in the increase in price. As a cut down card you shouldn't have to worry about heat or other issues. If you can afford it the 570 should be a great 1080 gaming card. If not, I suggest trying to find a 1050TI.
