				@mrmaavin 1080 if you want to game at 4k, vega if you want to do anything even remotely useful
@AlexDeLarge ehh, honestly i dont see much of a difference between an 580 and this in heavy calculations, but thats probably only my incompetence at lower level stuff - 
				
				
mrmaavin658y@BindView remote sounds nice but I don't know anything I could do remote and 4k is too expensive if you have 3 screens - 
				
				@mrmaavin strictly my opinions:
want a good and cheap gpu that can play shit in 1080p: rx460 or rx560
want a strong gpu for like 1440p: rx580
for some reason you want 4k: gtx1080
buuut im an amd fanboy and i would buy a vega instead of a 1080 so - 
				
				RageBone5798yTurns out, if you run Linux, vega64 beats the 1080ti.
In terms of raw compute, Vega is ahead.
Virtualization features, Vega is king. - 
				
				RageBone5798y@AlexDeLarge
Faster on Linux source:
Level One Techs
Vega56 21teraFlops
Vega 64 up to 27tFlops.
1080ti 11.47
AMD has opensourced the driver stack and that seems to pay off! - 
				
				RageBone5798y@Achi Well, I found mine buying broken pc parts on eBay.
Sandy/ ivy bridge server stuff is pretty often still good.
Some sellers are just idiots and such stuff.
Good for me : D 

fucking hell, rx vega weighs like 300tons
