I think that you should go for neither of them go AMD with this one and get a RX 570 according to Austin it is a better value option.

Well 1070 used is as good as vega 56 used. Go for 1070 is its not blower type of card

QUOTE ME  FOR ANSWER.

Tier lists for building a PC.

 

Motherboard tier list. Tier A for overclocking 5950x. Tier B for overclocking 5900x, Tier C for overclocking 5800X. Tier D for overclocking 5600X. Tier F for 4/6 core Cpus at stock. Tier E avoid.

(Also case airflow matter or if you are using Downcraft air cooler)

Spoiler

 

Gpu tier list. Rtx 3000 and RX 6000 not included since not so many reviews. Tier S for Water cooling. Tier A and B for overcloking. Tier C stock and Tier D avoid.

( You can overclock Tier C just fine, but it can get very loud, that is why it is not recommended for overclocking, same with tier D)

Spoiler

 

Psu tier List. Tier A for Rtx 3000, Vega and RX 6000. Tier B For anything else. Tier C cheap/IGPU. Tier D and E avoid.

(RTX 3000/ RX 6000 Might run just fine with higher wattage tier B unit, Rtx 3070 runs fine with tier B units)

Spoiler

 

Cpu cooler tier list. Tier 1&2 for power hungry Cpus with Overclock. Tier 3&4 for overclocking Ryzen 3,5,7 or lower power Intel Cpus. Tier 5 for overclocking low end Cpus or 4/6 core Ryzen. Tier 6&7 for stock. Tier 8&9 Ryzen stock cooler performance. Do not waste your money!

Spoiler

 

Storage tier List. Tier A for Moving files/  OS. Tier B for OS/Games. Tier C for games. Tier D budget Pcs. Tier E if on sale not the worst but not good.

(With a grain of salt, I use tier C for OS myself)

Spoiler

 

Case Tier List. Work In Progress. Most Phanteks airflow series cases already done!

Ask me anything :)

1070 easily. Though if you're in the US I'd try to squeeze in the $30 extra to get a 1660 Super with a three year warranty since 1070 tend to go for around $200 used. Then again 1660 Super is impossible to find for MSRP right now, so you might end up waiting a few weeks. Here's how the cards stack up at 1080p in Techpowerup's testsuite of games.

Likely the Inno 3D one then, the 1070 performs better than the 1650S so it's really only a matter of picking a good model.

The problem is both have around a year of warranty.

Great, that's already more than I'd expect for an used card.

cant compare a 1650 super to a 1070 bro

you can go with a 1660 super or a 2060 (if you want rtx, but i thinks that its kinda trash on the 2060)

If they have a year of warranty then a 1070 is a good buy. I'd much rather have a 1070 with a year of warranty than a 1650 Super with three years.

1070 will be 45-80% faster depending on the game, if you can get it for same price and you know its working then go for that.  Completely different tier of performance. 

Honestly the coolest thing about the 1650 is that its a good part for OEMs to put into decent budget,600-750$ gaming laptops due to its low power draw, would never use one if i could avoid it in a desktop when used market is a option.
