   1080 over Vega all day. The 1070 Ti is a good choice too, about as powerful as the 1080 but can sometimes be found for $100-150 or so less. I just did a 8700k/32GB/1070 Ti build here and it's awesome. New Nvidia 1180/2080 or whatever it is called should be announced this summer but unlikely to be available until fall, so…

   iirc Blender Cycles actually runs better using a Vega 64 then a 1080, but otherwise the 1080 will be roughly the same or better in most cases.

   http://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-GTX-1080-vs-AMD-RX-Vega-64/3603vs3933 Benchmark wise, the 1080 is better. Support wise, Nvidia seems to have a little less issues with professional software. Also if you use anything that supports CUDA, Nvidia is a better option. Nvidia also has a lot of cool extra features like…

   Hello people. I am purchasing a new computer for work. It is a 8700k desktop, and I have a chance to have in it either an Nvidia 1080 GTX or a Radeon Vega 64 for 50 USD more. I use the following software normally (in this order): - Blender- Zbrush- Adobe Photoshop, Premiere, After Effects- Substance Suite- Unity Which of…

   Also, Vega 64 uses a lot more energy then a 1080 when maxed out. It's not a HUGE difference, but might matter if you're concerned about being eco friendly.

   Indeed, that is a great build! The 1070 TI is indeed a possibility as well, definitely one of the cards I have been looking for.

   Thank you guys! PolyHertz - indeed, that is what attracted me to the Vega 64, and also the fact it has more compute power, so it is nice to play with some AI-based VFX plugin I wanted to try and develop for myself. But, Nvidia seems to be the most well rounded, especially for a guy that buys a GPU once every many, many…
