Should I get the RX Vega 64 or GTX 1080?

I disagree, this is too important a factor to completely ignore it. Buying a GPU with a monitor in mind gives easily the best result and gamers should always keep it in mind.

But we don't know if Turkish is going to buy a monitor anytime soon, so recomending a videocard because buying a new monitor, but not any monitor, only the ones that have a certain tech inside, will be cheaper is pointless.

Considering he hasn't mentioned the monitor issue, it is worth pointing it out, since he may simply not be aware that it actually is a big deal I mean, watch this:

The guy puts Liquid Vega + FreeSync monitor over 1080ti with a normal monitor - and I think nobody can disagree. By that token, Vega 64 and even Vega 56 coupled with a FreeSync monitor are superior to a 1080 without a G-Sync monitor. We should spread awareness about it, since this adaptive sync matters much more than extra average 5 fps and buying a monitor that complements our GPU is the way to go.

 

@freedquaker - we share the same thought pattern It's true Vega is in many way head and shoulders above Pascal in terms of new tech solution, in fact we already know that not all bells and whistles are enabled as of yet. Performance is bound to be improved in the future and the cards are much more futureproof - #finewinetech at its best Can't wait to get my non-reference V56
