Is the RX 570 still worth it?

I currently have the 1050 Ti (4gb), and am considering if I should buy the RX 570 (4gb).

Is that much better or the same?

Can you play with the RX 570 games like GTA V, Fortnite, Overwatch in very high FPS?

Because the performance is currently good, but not enough.

Or rather to Nvidia, but max. Only spend 210 euro.

The upgrade is not worth it in my opinion. You can google yourself, because you can see how much the map is faster and tens of videos that show on YouTube how much FPS can be achieved on both maps.

For 210 euro but you get a loose RX 590 already, that would be more profitable then. But I would recommend to save 270 euro, because you get a Vega 56 and that is definitely a different league!

In my opinion, a GPU upgrade is worthwhile only if you improve by 100%. With a RX 570, you're in the range of + 50-60%. Is not worth it.

I would at least look for ner GTX 1660. There are from 216 euro. If your limit is really tight at 210 euro and you can't afford a McMenu, take the cheapest RX 580 8GB, which has more than a year warranty.

A RX 570 (4GB / 8GB) would not necessarily be a real "giant step" for you in terms of performance.

The main advantage of the 8GB version would be the better performance at FullHD.

There are many more textures and other data in it. It would have to be reloaded during the game much less often.

This advantage offers the hardly cheaper 4GB version.

For this "experiment", however, the price / performance ratio would be a bit too unfavorable.

The question is also, which CPU you have installed.

Above all, this is noticeable if you would choose a Graka that would promise you a real leap in performance (at least 150-200% faster).

If the installed CPU can't keep up, such a (much more expensive) Graka is unfortunately only thrown out money.

And then there's the question of a suitable power supply.

A GTX 1050ti usually needs no extra power connection. However, some higher-clocked models require a 6-pin mains connection (+ 75W).

The AMD GPUs are usually much more power hungry. This must be taken into account for a pending investment.

A power supply of 400W will probably not be enough. Better would be a high-quality NT with 500W, or more, so it does not always run at the limit (=> heat, noise, wear => "fire hazard").

Hereby you can calculate the respective need (so approximately):

A safety buffer of approx. 50W should always be considered.
