Our Verdict: Upgrading from GTX 970M to RX 580 Mobile is not recommended as it is less than 30% of improvement in performance. In general, a reasonable upgrade is between 30% and 50% or more to justify the purchase of new hardware. The price/performance ratio is much better for RX 580 Mobile .

AMD Radeon RX 580 Mobile / i7-7700K

In terms of cost, pricing clearly is a genuine issue here and the price of RX 580 Mobile is simply ridiculous. For the most part, the RX 580 Mobile is still capable of playing modern games, but you would have to reduce settings to sustain those higher framerates. If keeping graphics quality settings closer to ultra or high is important, there are a few options for upgrades. In terms of memory, the RX 580 Mobile 's 8192 MB RAM is more than enough for modern games and should not cause any bottlenecks.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970M / i7-4770K

In terms of cost, pricing clearly is a genuine issue here and the price of GTX 970M is simply ridiculous. With regards to max load temperature, the GTX 970M 's cooling is excellent at keeping it cool and under control. This combination between GTX 970M and Intel Core i7-4770K @ 3.50GHz has less than 8% bottleneck in many games and is perfect match to avoid FPS loss. This combination between GTX 970M and Intel Core i7-4770K @ 3.50GHz is a perfect match to avoid FPS loss. With current 3072 MB RAM, the GTX 970M can have very few memory-related bottlenecks in more modern games.
