Just curious, why would you trade a GTX 1070 for this? It's more of a lateral move than an upward one. It's kind of a downgrade, if you consider power usage.

A stock Vega 56 matches a 1070. As I said, a morphed Vega 56 matches a RTX 2070.

In that case, the Vega maybe the better way to go. The AMDs tend to be better for computation. In a nutshell it comes down to power consumption. Stock, both the Vega 56 and the 2060 are comparable...

This is a lot of video card for the money if you can deal with the type of cooler it uses.
With some tweaks it will hang with most games at an acceptable frame rate even at 3440.

Seriously. At the average cost per kWh in the US, it would take 5000 hours at 100% to cover the $30 difference. There's only 8760 hours in a year.
