This definitely seems like the winner of the two cards but it's going to hurt when Nvidia just cuts the pricing on the 1070/1080.
Hopefully 7nm helps Vega next year.

No worries mate, it was a colossal screw-up from my side. Fixed now.
The past weeks have been insane, this was pure exhaustion. The 56 arrived on Friday. I hate rushing these things, and the 56 review was that a rushed review.
Thanks, was difficult trying to keep focus on the numbers, eyes being drawn away. (Also, sorry I didn't mean any disrespect).

Unless 56 has hidden potential, its barely better than 379$ msrp 1070.
So, yeah Vega late to party and still doesnt offer much. For 24/7 usage 1070 is hands down better choice.(gaming, etc..)
I am surprised its not disaster after all shenanigas AMD did on events. So at least that works for amd.

You can buy 1070s from 440$. Vega56 has a 400$ MSRP, with the AIBs should be around 430-450$, if the miner hysteria doesn't hit the prices like 500-550$. Paired with a Sync monitor, it will be a better choice in both circumstances.

Just read through the article now, I'm actually quite impressed. While it is a shame AMD brought these cards to the party late, they did deliver what they said they would.
Vega 56 performing either at 1070 or between the 1070 and 1080. Vega 64 performance showing it's on the 1080 consistently and no doubt the liquid cooled edition will be between the 1080 and Ti.
We have to remember that when Vega was first announced, it was meant to compete with the 1080, not Titan/1080 Ti, it's community hype that lead to false expectations.
With the features on board Vega though, it will be interesting to see how it will perform over the years to come, assuming games and software make use of such features and, how the impact would be. Will we see a generation difference like what happened between Kepler and Maxwell, how GCN was able to maintain it's performance between the competing generations? Time will tell.
