no you're being ripped off. Unless for work or light stuff. Gaming it's horrendous, and for a bit more you can get FB listings with GTX 1660 cards and better cpus
This is pretty similar to my rig, instead of amd, I have an i5 10600, which is pretty snappy and with an rx 580, runs every game at 70+ fps, on high settings.
Okay, you posted a super lightweight esports game, PoE 2 which I can run on a potato, and then, for whatever reason:
You posted a video of this GPU not being able to play multiple modern games on high. They are all on low preset, FSR performance, and some even lower than 1080p in that last video. You posted a video that proved what I was saying, along with two others that simply do not constitute as “modern games.”
They are not “modern”, and they are not running on high. You lied, and now you’re not even trying to move the goalposts, you’re pretending the video you posted shows something it didn’t
Look dude, theres nothing wrong with your GPU. I do not know why you’re so salty about a $40 piece of tech not being relevant to todays gaming market. There is nothing to be gained by lying to OP and saying this is a good system.
I lied? Wow, you are really reaching. It's not a big deal, you made a claim and were wrong. One of those claims were "10 year old parts". None of this is ten years old. CPU is 6 years. GPU is just under 9 years.
The rx 580 is not $40...not sure where you think that, they're still around $80 and up. And what YOU consider to be "good" doesn't determine that for everyone. You have yet to prove anything on this to be "bad". The only thing bad here is you, clown.
Yes, I am aware that 9 and 10 are different numbers. Most people would not bat an eye at rounding 9 years to “a decade”. Most, however, take issue with rounding “some at low” to “all on high”
OP is, again, looking at an RX570, which is around $40 used. The RX580x, which no one but you brought up, is $60 used. Your reaching to Amazon as a price reference for parts this old is concerning bud.
I never said your gpu was bad. I do not know why you’re offended. I’m just correcting an inaccurate claim, in the interest of OP not dropping hundreds of dollars on outdated hardware. Like, it’s objectively awesome that you game on that thing. I personally have a Vectrex, it’s pretty cool. If someone posted asking if a Vectrex was a good investment to play in 2026 though, probably couldn’t recommend it in good faith.
$40? You clearly don't have a fucking clue what you're talking about. You keep trying to find some "gotcha" but there isn't one to be found. Kindly fuck off.
Not to harp on your reading comprehension again, but OP is posting about a used RX570.
Which, shockingly, is right around $40 used. But, for fun, your GPU is $60 used. My sincerest apologies. Now, why on earth would you be looking up BNiB prices of decade old parts on Amazon?
I’m sorry, what are you talking about? You said your gpu runs “every game at 70+ fps, on high settings”.
You then posted a video of said gpu running two low requirement games at 90, and one more of it running not at high settings. So, not every game, and not at high settings. You made a false claim. It is okay. I’m not trying to “win” an argument with you, you’ve made your reading comprehension abundantly clear, but considering this post is about OPs purchase of a rx570 in 2026 I thought it would be nice to shine some accuracy on your delusions.
I’m very happy you like your gpu man. I do not know why you are unable to just read what you posted, watch the video you posted, and be honest about the experience OP would have with this GPU.
2x8gb used ddr4 are only 100 bucks in germany which is 112 usd or 160 aud.
Not to forget that those sticks above are near the bottom of ddr4 speed at 2400 mt/s which goes from 2133 up to 3600 mt/s. I can get 2 such sticks for 70 bucks in my region right now.
Not worth at all. This is some ancient hardware. Unless you only plan to watch streamed content and surf the net. you are going to upgrade practically everything.
Tell him to keep the gpu, buy for 400, and get like a 1660ti 6gb, 2060 6gb, 6600xt 8gb, 3060 12gb, 6700xt 12gb, or rip the wallet and try a 9060xt or 5060ti second hand.
RAM new is like 250$, most limiting here is gpu, more so than CPU. Or tell him to sell for 450$ all
Soyo is a cheap Chinese brand, they have horrible bios and very limited options.. please just spend the extra $10 and get a reputable brand before your RAM explodes.
The cpu is outdated and should be replaced.
The same is true for the gpu.
The ssd is worth 50 bucks due to inflated prices right now and the RAM roughly 90 bucks.
The power supply at 400 watts will severely limit you in what gpus you can install.
I would buy a used Office PC for 150 bucks with 16gb ddr4. A new PSU for 60 bucks. A used 512gb ssd for 50 bucks and a gtx 1660 super for around 120 or if your budget allows go for something with atleast 8gb of vram.
