Should I get the RX Vega 64 or GTX 1080?

GTA V and Witcher 3 on ultra seem to be heavy hitters to me. I'm aware we can turn down settings but there are folk like me who don't want

GTA 5 Very High settings.
1440P Geforce 1070: 63.1fps.
1080P Geforce 1060: 68.2fps.

Witcher 3. Ultra settings.
1440P Geforce 1070: 62fps
1080P Geforce 1060: 58.5fps
 
Just disable hair works. Or throw a little overclock at the problem. (Pascal is a clockrate monster anyway.)
Witcher 3 is also not a twitch-shooter. Even a stable 30fps can be acceptable.

1080TI for 1440P is a waste, 1070 for 1080P is a waste.

I'm running 1440P on an RX 580 which is Geforce 1060 class at the moment. With plans for Vega which is Geforce 1080 class. I'm under no illusions that Vega is a waste for this display, same goes for the Geforce 1080 and 1080Ti.

That's the thing though, for someone like me who has a 144hz monitor and likes having the bells and whistles, I'd like to have the extra legroom to do with what I want.

I know you think it's perfect and more than enough, but I'm not you, we are both different in how we percieve and approach game settings and what GPU we think we need.

1080ti hardly dominates 4k gaming at 60fps across the board, so the 1080ti may as well be a waste entirely.

I'm not a fan of playing games at 30fps these days, so with a 144hz display, no, it's not really acceptable to me, but I'm also not the only person in the world who thinks that either.
