Should I get the RX Vega 64 or GTX 1080?

We are exceptions to the rule. We are enthusiasts/high-end users.

A Geforce 1070 is ample enough for 1440P.
A Geforce 1060 is enough for 1080P.
At 60fps, which most people game at. The benchmarks/evidence I provided is a testament to that very fact.

Now where pricing comes into it, things get a little more difficult. Mining has made the 1070 almost as expensive as the 1080, making the 1080 the better buy anyway.

With that, you always buy the best you can afford for your needs, but people should not be under some silly illusion that they need a Geforce 1080Ti for 1440P as that is silly.

Again I am aware of the test results, but unfortunetley the results don't always 100% pan out like they do on a console, such is the nature of PC gaming. What works in your rig for 1440p/1080p will not always work for someone else. My 980 should have been more than enough for GTA 5, as the same should have been for my i5-4670k, yet they were not able to give me a decent and constant 60fps with GTA V and that wasn't with everything maxed either at 1080p and I know I'm not one in 7 billion on this rock that would have experienced that either (because you know not everyone within PC gaming ahs the likes of a 980 either).

I know of the mining situation, but that is only a temporary issue and not one that will be around for years at a time, thus the 1070 as you put it would be the defacto buy, just do what the average person would do and wait, it won't kill you.

So it's not really a need then, it's a factual illusion that I bought the 1080ti for my monitor and needs?, because that's honestly how that sentence is going. I've watched the benchmarks for multiple takes on the i7-6700k being paired with a 1080 at 1440p max settings for various games and I wasn't too happy with how far the frame dips had gone (because a 1080 is more than enough right?, so who's fault is it for the stupidly low eprformance dips, the devs?), which is why I went for the 1080ti, because I wanted to avoid said dips.
