drop it whatever you want.

GTX 1080 are better, more power efficient, and you can get them almost at same prices.

Moreover, the new generation is almost here, so this card will be less and less valueable.

And the only thing where it succeds is in mining, and mining is totally destroyed nowadays. So....

That's not bad, though 1070 just makes more sense, at least on Windows side of things.

The 1080 is more efficient for sure. However, in DX12 the 64 is faster. Mostly because AMD stuck with the "lots of GCN units" and thus it is the better card in DX12.

I also don't think it will be less valuable. If mining returns it will be worth a fortune.

It's also faster in Vulkan

And Doom Eternal is going to use Vulkan also.

Personally if I was buying now I would deffo get the Vega. Three free games just edges it for me.

not in all games. You can see many comparisions in games with DX12 and V64 does not win in all of them.

Vulkan is another thing, because it's only used in DOOM.

Mining is dead.

I still prefer GTX 1080. I will not deny those 3 games make it better to get V64 though.

Mining was dead before. It came around again, and if I were the greedy sort I could have gotten back what I paid for my Fury X and more.

I still think the Vega is the better card going into the future. Mainly because AMD actually give a crap and keep working on the drivers for it, even after they have been paid.

There really is nothing in it except price. And with 3 free games and about the best cooler you can get on the Vega there isn't much in it in temps either.
