I own an ASUTEK PRIME H310_M - R.2.0 motherboard paired with an XFX Radeon RX 570 XXX 8GB GPU and an Antec NeoECO Modular 650W Semi-Modular PSU.
My priority is a solid display for X-PLANE 12 or MSFS 2020 flight simulators. I’m not looking to upgrade my entire PC right now.
I’m curious if upgrading the RX 570 could enhance my display, and if so, which models would be best and what advantages I should gain.

Play your games at lower settings but keep the resolution high to reduce strain on your graphics card. An increase in FPS suggests your CPU can handle better graphics settings. If your FPS remains steady, it likely means your CPU is the limiting factor. The decision of what works depends on you personally. The RX570 is a budget graphics card. Your 650W PSU might not be enough for more demanding configurations. Check Tom's GPU hierarchy chart for guidance: If you plan to upgrade, choose a substantial upgrade to avoid disappointment without noticeable improvements. Consider models like RX6600, RTX3060 or ARC770.
