This question has been asked before.

 

Short answer:

 

970 SLI < (1070 = Vega 56) < (1080 = 980 SLI)

 

But SLI is not optimized in all games, so always better to get the single card. Also for power consumption reasons.

Should I get dual 970s/980s or wait for a single vega 56?

I'd recommend a single VEGA 56

Judge a product on its own merits AND the company that made it.

You should pretty much always go with a single more powerful GPU over 2 less powerful ones

two 980s aren't exactly weak.

Our Grace. The Feathered One. He shows us the way. His bob is majestic and shows us the path. Follow unto his guidance and His example. He knows the one true path. Our Saviour. Our Grace. Our Father Birb has taught us with His humble heart and gentle wing the way of the bob. Let us show Him our reverence and follow in His example. The True Path of the Feathered One. ~ Dimboble-dubabob III
