My rig is outdated (Haswell 2013) and I'm looking to do a rebuild next year, effectively waiting for 7nm Ryzen and next gen AMD GPU. I likely will stay with full HD for gaming, even for the next generation.
I'm playing stuff like Observer, Layer Of Fear, Soma, not the most demanding games IMO. I would like to revisit Deus EX MD and Rise of the Tomb Raider.
The two options I think i have are:
* Get a cheaper card, that will grant me some fun the next 1 1/2 years. Replace immediately on new build.
* Get a decent card for 1080p that will even be usable in my next build, probably until I swap for anything 1080p+.
I'm currently considering one of those two cards:
PowerColor Radeon RX 570 Red Dragon, 4GB GDDR5
I could get that card for ~ 219 €, only makes sense if I stick with 4GB VRAM, models with more get me in the RX 580 price range.
Now I can't find any benchmarks for RX 570, only for RX 560 which i think would not be much of an upgrade compared to my existing GTX 770.
Sapphire Nitro+ Radeon RX 580 8GD5
That card would be ~ 309 €. Phoronix benchmarks look good but I think I would be CPU limited. Also for that kind of price i probably would like to keep it a bit longer than next year.
Thanks for your help!

Thanks. Currently leaning more towards RX 580 for sourcing reasons, the price difference becomes neglectable on some RX 570 models because I would have to order them.

RX570 is not that huge upgrade from GTX 770, unless you are VRAM limited

I have the Gigabyte Windforce edition with 4 GB Vram.
RX580 already ordered, hopefully it arrives before my vacation, would like to test drive it a bit :D

8 GB Vram, check.

I'm in a very similar situation as well. I have Haswell and a GTX970 but want to change to AMD. I will also stick with Full HD for a while, just bought a Freesync monitor, and hesitating a lot with my options. I was considering getting the newer Ryzen 2, possibly 7 2600 (the normal version with just 65W is very sweet) and a RX Vega 56. That should last me another 4 years or so.
On the other hand, the kind of games that I play aren't so demanding either -The Witcher 3 is probably the most demanding game I have played for a while- which makes me think I could probably wait till next year with 7nm and the new cards. Supposedly Nvidia will release the new generation and that might bring prices down of the current one too.
The more I ruminate about the two options the more confused I get haha.

Same here. The Witcher 3 is probably the most demanding game I have now. Vega 56 helps with it quite a bit though. Significant difference from Sapphire Nitro+ RX 480 card I had before (which is quite close in specs to RX 580).
