Vega 64 or 1080

I've got a 2560x1080 Gysnc wide-screen monitor and my GTX1080 runs all games at ultra settings at good frame rates the lowest I've ever encountered is Metro last light but again at maximum settings it never goes below 60 frames and that's without fiddling around with card settings.

Great card for that res, should last you a good while :cool:
 
When I mentioned on OCN in a VEGA owners thread I was going GTX 1080, a nVidia owner stated DPC was high on their drivers, so he jumped to VEGA. Any experience share on this from OCuk nVidia owners?

As I'm still waiting on a CPU block to finish build I have not tested GTX 1080.

I see the Vega is back in stock if you had a choice a 1080 or Vega 64 what would you get.

I think the 1080 comes out a slightly better card but 470 compared to 550 is quite a difference in cost.

Will the Vega get better with time and driver updates?

I bought a Vega 64 AIO on release which I returned and replaced with a 1080, I considered getting a reference aircooled Vega but like having a relatively quiet system so I went with the £499.99 MSI 1080 Armor. I have a Freesync monitor so I may consider replacing the 1080 with an AIB Vega card once they turn up.
 
GTX 1080 if you ask me. RX 64 is a huge disappointment and while I am happy to fork out my money for a Ryzen CPU I would definitely think twice before spending money on something like Vega GPU.
 
I was hanging on for Vega right up until I read about the power draw. I then bought an EVGA 1080Ti FTW3 for my 1440p/60Hz panel and find most games have been running ~65C.

It's not the power draw itself that I was uncomfortable with but the heat output. My spare room aka office is only about 3.5x3m and I have the window open all year round even during the winter. Just can't stand the heat.

Vega 56 or a 1070 / 1080 would be plenty for 1080p gaming or VR. If you want a Vega then you really should wait for the custom cooler versions.

I really wouldn't opt for a reference 64. Prices aside it's heavily flawed and a good drop slower than an oc'd 1080.

A decent AIB card will probably get you closer to LC VE64 performance but still not top 1080 performance and you will almost certainly lose the price benefit but keep some (although not all) of the vega flaws.

Why do you keep posting this rubbish? "heavily flawed and a good drop slower than an oc'd 1080" I proven you wrong last week was that not enough? Here Raw footage and the RX VEGA 64 wins just has much it looses !!! Just please stop! They on Par with each other! it all comes down to the Games being played and the Resolution also matters.
1080p
1440p

Do any of these actually include overclocks? Given that's his statement.

I ownt both because I have numerous systems, they are quite evenly matched so if it helps I can offer the following advice:

1: If you're horrified at the prospect of spending an extra £10-20 a year on electricity then get the GTX1080.
2: If you're horrified at having to open a door/window because it's too hot, 5mins earlier than you would with the GTX1080, then get the GTX1080.
3: If you own a G-sync monitor then get the GTX1080.
4: If you cannot live without PhysX in your games then get the GTX1080.
5: If you use your PC for GPU accelerated applications as well as games get the V64.
6: If you plan to keep the GPU a long time then get the V64 (as the performance increase over time will outstrip the GTX1080s as AMD drivers mature better, usually due to starting out worse).
7: If you own a FreeSync monitor get the V64.
8: If you don't own a *Sync monitor and plan to buy one during the ownership of this card get the V64.

Obviously multiple ones may apply to you so use best judgement.
 
Vega56 is a good shout but I can see AIB ones costing just as much as good 1080's. At 1080p if you have no plans to upgrade your resolution anytime soon I probably wouldn't pay £500 for a card. A 1070 should be fine for your res and VR, keep an eye out for a good deal on a good one.

I personally still cannot believe the poor VR performance, wtf are AMD thinking?? And they stated that they're prioritising this!???? Only God knows what the performance would be like if they weren't!!!!!!!!

VR is a bit 2016 and beyond a handful of enthusiasts it hasn't caught on, that's probably what AMD are thinking.
