Hello guys! So im looking for a budget graphics card to pair with my FX 8320 3.5ghz, and i wanted to ask you what's the better option in here.
Where i live (Portugal) the difference in price between a RX 570 4GB and a RX580 8GB is roughly 50€ so, i want your guys opinion regardly i should get the 570 4gb or the 580 8gb one and what of these two bottleneck etc...
I just want to play some Esports games and AAA games like medium 60+fps just for now x)
Thanks for the help!
 
The RX580 has a rating of 57.9 on tom's gpu hierarchy chart:

The RX570 is 48.3
If you have the budget for either, buy the stronger or you will always wonder if you did the right thing.
Do you have a sufficiently strong PSU?

And... the FX series have slow processing cores so do not expect too much.
Try this test first:
Run YOUR games, but lower your resolution and eye candy.
If your FPS increases, it indicates that your cpu is strong enough to drive a better graphics configuration.
If your FPS stays the same, you are likely more cpu limited.

If you have plans to upgrade your CPU in the near future, you can get the RX 580. However if you plan on keeping it, get the RX 570. Because of the poor ass CPU, the performance between the two cards won't be much different.
