If anyone is wondering performance wise the 590 is right between a 1060 6g and a 1070.

If they end up putting Sapphire's RX 580 Nitro on sale for around $200, I'll probably get it.

I got a powercolor red dragon vega 56 in the last month for $330 shipped. It may show up at this price again.
Right now theres a rx 570(4gb) for $140 at newegg, too. That's a very good budget option. I recieved the last round of game codes, and the new ones look good, too. NOTE: the new game bundle is for not yet released games |

That's a really great deal. I doubt a Vega card would even fit in my case, though. I only have 10.6" of space for a card
 My CPU is getting pretty ancient as well, so it would be a big bottle neck for some games. I'll probably go AMD next time I update that. I hate that Intel changes their socket like every other year, if only to force you to buy a new motherboard. Does anyone have recommendations on GPU manufacturers? I've always had EVGA Nvidia cards. I was looking at Sapphire mostly because they seem to be Radeon's EVGA. Other brands already have $200 RX 580s, but I am weary of their quality. |

Last time they offered games with a CPU, I bought three, one for myself and two for friend. They didn't honor their rebate.z

Sapphire, XFX, and Powercolor are the big AMD manufacturers. Still rocking a XFX R9 290 in my secondary PC. Fans failed on it a while back and they sent me a new cooler no questions asked. It still runs things surprisingly well to be from 2013. The main one I would stay away from is Diamond. AsRock is new to the GPU game, at least in NA, so I would probably stay away from them for now. |

They make some pretty compact Vega 56 cards now. Evga has had a few problems with bad components lighting cards on fire last couple series. What cpu are you using? |

If you have an overclockable mobo you may be able to find a 3770k used pretty cheap as an upgrade. I also think that I'm going to go with an 8gb RX 570 instead. They can be had for $150 with the 2 game deal, and only perform 5-10% lower than the 580. It's a huge upgrade from my GTX 960 (which are going for around $60 on eBay). After I sell that card, it will be like I got the games at a discount with a free GPU. Edit - Ended up going with the XFX 8gb RX 570 |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I've actually been looking recently. It's amazing that a 6 generation old CPU still holds up. Apparently this has become more common knowledge now, and people are buying them up.

Yeah my 3770k lasted until this year when I finally replaced it with a 2700x. Amd is essentially the budget king right now for graphics and cpus. |
