Recently I've finally built something that I could consider 'decent', 10th gen i5 and 16GB of DDR4 but what aggravates me the most is that I could only attain an RX 570 4GB within my extremely tight budget, how much can I get out of said cards nowadays? Specially given how stupidly high PC game requirements are nowadays. I play at 1080p, not even 2K.
I have a dripfeed of an income so it can be very difficult for me to even upgrade a storage device.
I had a 980 FE and it was begging for mercy, you can get good frames on 1080p, low settings, if your card has good cooler, so it won't turn into a grilling pan.
But i would suggest upgrading even with a second hand part (i got myself a second hand palit 3070 jet stream, it is a trooper, but the cooler can't keep up with the heat at times.) so yeah, that's that.
I should add games like csgo, fortnite, rainbow, gta v, rdr2, skyrim runs fine on a 4gb but still...
I game on an Nvidia GTX 970ti and it still keeps chugging along. As long as you are merely trying to get games to run, not necessarily on high settings, you can get most games to work. Sometimes you need to make some sacrifices in terms of performance.
