Found an old pc in a kerb side chuck out .. it had a Rx 570 inside!!
tested out okay on my old setup
at this point is it really worth swapping out my HTPC Gtx 1050 as it still does all I need ?

The least you can do is swap the cards and check if the RX570 is properly supported in various video types and sizes.
Also a watt meter could be useful in comparing the electricity draw for each card.

My UPS has a display .. the Rx570 does use more - seemed to be around 30-70 watts more than the Gtx 1050
video seemed slightly sharper but orange colours were way too strong .. iridescent hot orange glow

You should be able to adjust sharpening for Nvidia graphics in Kodi's Video OSD menu.
30-70 watts more just for playing a video? Damn...
