How to setup OpenMW for modern Morrowind on Linux / SteamOS and Steam Deck
How to install Hollow Knight: Silksong mods on Linux, SteamOS and Steam Deck
My rig is outdated (Haswell 2013) and I'm looking to do a rebuild next year, effectively waiting for 7nm Ryzen and next gen AMD GPU.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](https://www.powercolor.com/product?id=1493878067)
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](http://www.sapphiretech.com/productdetial.asp?pid=B66182B7-1EA6-42A9-8762-FCCE003B491A&lang=eng)
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!

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

RX580 already ordered, hopefully it arrives before my vacation, would like to test drive it a bit :D
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.

The card arrived one day before my vacation so I'm looking forward to do some further testing.
