Which graphics card is better to upgrade for my PC ?

My PC spec : 2017 Rig

Ryzen7 1700
Wraith Spire
Msi B350 Tomahawk
Gskill TridentZ 3200mhz 16gb(8*2)
Msi RX 480 Armor 8GB OC
Capture card elgato 4K60 Pro mk.2
WD Black 1tb 7200rpm
Samsung SSD EVO 850 240gb
ADATA XPG GAMMIX S11 Pro 1 TB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive
Corsair RM 650 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply
Gigabyte ‎M28U 28.0" 3840x2160 144 Hz Monitor
LG 22MP68 22" Full HD IPS SLIM LED MONITOR (1920x1080)
win10 pro 64bit

And PS5

I would like play games like dota2 and fortnite, And I want to record games at 4k60 UHD HDR resolution from PS5

My Rx480 is only best recording 2k60fps.

And I fear about Bottleneck of new GPU

ask Elgato:

I suspect your video card is not used at all for video capture. Your likely looking at a CPU upgrade. It is going to depend on what Elgato's software supports.

Im using OBS studio

I have no idea then.

Looks like hardware encoding is supported and preferred.

Only things I found of use was this:

AMD Hardware Encoding in 2021 (VCE / VCN) - Code Calamity

Comparing AMD VCE / VCN Hardware encoding vs x265 encoding software across video quality, speed and power consumption.

GPU Hardware Video Encoders – How Good Are They?

Figuring out the best way to encode a video is very computationally expensive, and it might not a good idea to throw a ton of CPU cycles at encoding video when you’re running a game. That&#82…

I doubt many people here are going to know the answer to your question.

You may wish to adjust your settings before buying additional hardware.


If you want to double the power of your rx480, an rtx3060Ti or rx6700xt will likely do that. Whether that is enough to achieve your goal, I do not know.


For what your doing (real time encoding), your likely better off with nvidia vs AMD or Intel.

Nvidia and AMD should both have upgraded media engines coming out. Then again Intel is supposed to have a great one.

I know everyone wants to rag on ARC, it's launch has certainly left more than enough to be desired. But the hw encoder is great, so that's a check there, and performance for price on modern API games like DOTA2 is fine. Judging by the 3060 numbers (ARC 770 is a competitor there), it looks like you should be able to play DOTA at 4k60+ with an ARC 770, if it ever launches. You'll also got (currently) worldbeating AV1 encoding performance, so it'll be future proof for any streaming/capture you might want.

As the lower end cards from Nvidia/AMD will probably launch next year, if the ARC 770 launches anytime soon you might want to seriously consider it.

But the hw encoder is great,

It is not supported by the software he is using.

Recommending this first release by Intel for encoding is questionable. The software support is just not there.

Maybe 2 years from now.
But not today.

Today everyone makes Nvidia work first, and amd is a distant after thought. Arc is not even on the radar.

Just wait till the RTX 4000 series is released! Double the power for the same price!

if your capturing games from a console, i think your far better off getting a mid tier video card 6750XT or a 7700XT (when they launch) + a HD capture card, like a Elgato HD60X.
