Before the Sniffles Caused the world to lock down and go insane. I obtained an rx 570 off shelf for a price of 130$ i was upgrading from an R7 270. At the time my power supply only had 6 pin pcie power plugs. the Rx570 Would Run under just a 6pin BUT i was forced to drop its power slider to -10% to keep from power starving the gpu during gaming. when power starved the card would produce a nice Static fuzz and cause me to have to Restart as the Vpu recover would not react when this happened. After procuring a x2 molex to 8 pin power adapter That Remedied that and it stopped happening and no longer had to use the -10% power setting. i found it nice that the rx 570 would still work with only a 6 pin. the 570 4gb carried me untill it met helldivers 2 where in the limitations became apparent. STILL playable oh yes but of course your playing it on low rez low settings. on the used market a rx570 4gb for 40$ is fair and i buy another one for the living room computer if the opportunity came up. only amd videocards will do in my home. i've been actively ignoring everything nvidia does ever since their failed Fx5000 series nvidia killed 3dfx and nvidia killed omega drivers. i do not trust nvidia more then id trust licking raw chicken.. amd ftw

Pros

• Cheap
• works under 6 and 8 pin power
• HAS amd Relive screen recording
• Can play helldivers 2 and vr titles
• has 3rd party drivers too https://amernimezone.com/

Cons

• Your going to be running things in 1080
• 4k 8k fuhgeddaboudit
• you will have to config game settings for best performance
• its not an rx580

If you know how to configure the PC and the Rx 570, it becomes much stronger than you think. I have the OC version and continue to be surprised to this day.
