@grey72 if you are not looking at the used market a 4gb rx 470 is pretty fair for the money. just look at the possibility to need to upgrade in 2 years or so. its not terrible but not considerably new either. It also depends on what processor you are pairing it with. it would be good if you could share that info. fyi drivers are more than fine. Thermals will be ok so long as you dont game in an extremely warm place.
performance is probably somewhere better than an nvidia 1050 but not quite 1060 level.
edit: it looks like it trades blows with a 1050ti back and forth which given the price, its quite nice!
fyi i got a 480 4gb in the used market for about 50 a few weeks ago so for one of my rigs. 70 for a slight step down but new seems decent.
