HD 5870 vs AMD Radeon RX 460

[happynoodleboy]

Hi guys.

I need some advice/input/thoughts on the below.

I currently have a MSI Radeon HD5870 Lightning Twin Frozr II.

I see the AMD Radeon RX 460 is currently about R2k, give or take.

Is it worth upgrading to the 460, performance wise?
I am not too concerned with the lower power consumption that the 460 obviously has.

Closest comparison I could find is

Thank you

Personally, I would save up and get something higher up the performance ladder, assuming you want to play at 1080p with most settings turned on. The 460 obviously has all the new features plus much better power consumption, but if you are going to spend money, rather aim for a card that is a bit more future-proof. R3500-4000 gets you something towards the RX 470 range, or maybe a discounted older-gen card.
