Vega 64 or Nvidia 1080

When is it you can see the difference with it in? Kinda want to give it a try myself like I'm missing out now but I chose 144hz over freesync. Also couldn't go without that so any new monitor needs to have both.

Moving the mouse around in say Titanfall 2 where the blending of frames just make it silky. Even leaves and animations benefit from it.

I was getting approx 100fps on that game so I tried vsync with triple buffering, adaptive sync and no sync at all. None of them was as nice to look at even with frames that high.

There may be no point in me going back to a 1080ti as even with higher fps, it won't look as smooth. And there's no way I would swap the Samsung monitor that I have for a Gsync TN or play the lottery with a Gsync IPS. I also don't miss the colour banding on the gsync monitors that I have had.

The AMD driver package has proper colour settings as opposed to digital vibrance and overclocking software built in, not to forget AMD has better image quality imo.

I would opt for the Vega 64 or 56 over a 1080.

The new LG 850 Gsync monitor is pretty good though but I would then miss Quantum Dot deep colours.
 
In fairness, the OP should get the Asus PG348Q, a 2080Ti (or 2 of them) and live happily ever after. But then again, I could just be being silly :D
 
I'm in a similar boat, i have a freesync Monitor and now time to decide on card - Evga 1080TI or Vega 64. reading these comments makes me thing the 64 would be worth it?
 
I'll eventually be water cooling it, so is Powercolor still worth the extra?

144Hz 1080ti better... not sure what you mean? Do you mean £144 extra? If so, £450 really is my maximum budget.

There's an MSI 1080 for £424 at the moment as well, so that's in the running. Any thoughts?

Vega64

Easily handle 1440p @ 100+ fps
Freesync is too good to give up imho.
Better drivers
Cool and quiet (Red Devil 64 is at any rate)
