GPU - Help Deciding

[Genesis_UK]

Evening,

I need a new GPU, and I game at 3440 x 1440. Looking at AMD and between these two cards.

Do you think it is worth spending the extra £100+ for V64. The ideal is for this card to hold me over until either Nvidia or AMD actually release a card that impresses me. Not interested in 2060, 2070 or buying the R7 (Cheap but relatively powerful for the time being)

List of games I currently play:

MHW (Unofficial Ultrawide Mod), PUBG, Hunt Showdown, BFV and intend to play Division 2 (Free game so extra benefit) and Anthem (Already own) in the coming months.

My Spec: Win10, Ryzen 1700 @ 3.9Ghz ,16GB DDR4 3400mhz

Your thoughts?

Thanks both, I am not afraid of some jiggery-pokery and given me some sensible voices in my head to listen to. Any one know what the chances of getting Samsung HBM on current supply of Vega 56? Low mostly likely?

No worries, thanks anyway

Between those two with prices as they are (£315 vs £420), I'd go for the Vega56.

What's your current graphics card?

None, old card up and died on me.

I'm curious. Going by the system specs given, I'd assume it would've been a decent reasonably new card.

Also, why only considering AMD? Freesync monitor?

It was a 980ti, and I do have a Freesync monitor. I was going to buy a 2080 or 2080ti but decided to save for the next lot of cards whether that be AMD or Nvidia.

Thanks for your guys help on this, I ended up going with the Vega 64 from the links in the original post. Hopefully should tide me over until either AMD or Nvidia bring out something that excites me lol.
