Vega 64 performance is at 1080 level or better for DX12 games but in DX11 performance it's behind and in some games the gap is huge (GTA V).
New AMD GPUs, same DX11 drivers performance problem...again.
That's comparing AMD Vega 64 VS Nvidia 1080 official base models.
When we consider the gazillion factory OCed 1080 models available right now and the ample OC margin 1080 has (more hz range, lower power) i think the AMD 1 year late to the party GPU is a fail.
No Ti this time, the competition was between Vega 64 vs 1080.

Too difficult considering differences in power prices and currency. But even if you take a worst-case scenario of something like $0.20/KWh, usually it takes several years of frequent extensive (but not 24/7) use until the cheaper and more power-hungry GPU becomes a poor value. For Vega 64, I'm not too sure how true that is, but for the 56 I'm sure you'd replace it by the time it becomes too expensive.
Also if you use electric heat in the winter, you could consider that a variable toward improving a GPU's value.
I think we need power bill charts comparison to be included into benches these days - buy a cheaper but more hungry card, or get a more expensive card buy get smaller bills down the road!

Great review HH but not so great for AMD. Well, crap in fact.
My 980ti will last 6 more months then. 200 bucks well spent.
Jeez, even for the used market... $200 is cheap!!

Sometimes giving the best you got isn't good enough. Expectations were too high as usual with AMD products.
I think they need to bring in some fresh energy at their GPU department.
