Hello!

I was wondering since i have the RX 480 card purchased for like 30 days ago. I was wondering if i should go for the 580 instead that are released in a couple of days?

I still got guarantee on it so i can send it back and get my money back, then spend a little bit extra, would it be worth it, now im talking about like $100-150 max to get it

For a %1-5 performance increase not really. The 580 is just a new generation of the Polaris cards really. I wouldn't spend more then $50-100 on the upgrade.

No, it's definitely not worth $100-150 more for an RX 580 over a 480..

The 580's are out already. You can buy one now if you want. I wouldn't 'upgrade' from a 480 to a 580. The 580 is a slight refresh on the 480 so at the same clock speed, they'll perform exactly the same. It's worth maybe $15-20 more for a 580, IF you want slightly better clock speeds and very slightly lower power consumption at idle.
