Should I still buy an RX 580 or other older budget card?

Specialist communities say it depends entirely on price. r/Amd and r/lowendgaming users still call the RX 580 a competent 1080p card for older and esports titles, but warn it struggles in current AAA games and is often overpriced for what it delivers. Knock-off variants with reduced stream-processor counts are flagged as worse value.
