Vega for V-ray?

[TommsSVK]

Hi guys, I am planing on building a new PC for work (mainly architectural renderings) as well as gaming and I have already decided on pretty much everything except GPU (and maybe mobo...). My workflow involves both CPU and GPU rendering so I am in need of decent GPU (not just GPU that´s "good enough for gaming"). 
What I need your help with basically is: Is Vega worth paying extra in this case?
Of course I´ve read spec sheets of both Nvidia and AMD products in that price range (1070,1080 and vega 56,64) but I don´t really know if the FP32/FP16 advantage that Vega has is of any use to me. Or if difference would be noticeable. Right now in my region Vega 56 is selling for almost the same price as 1080. So I don´t really know whether to try wait until/ if prices on Vega go "back to normal" or just buy 1070.

Have not checked bechmarks, but if you can't get Vega for MSRP, it may not be worth it.

i would wait till 30.Sep.

 

The Gamepacks should dissapear. So the price should offically drop ~60-100$.

 

But i cannot read the stars.

You can try everyday to watch for the Asus ROG Vega release hoping that the price is better than the gamepacks.

Curious about that myself, but usually V-Ray recommends CUDA (If using V-Ray RT). Vray ADV is CPU only.

 

1070 (overclocked) is pretty solid on rendering. I had two for V-Ray. Sold them off to get 1080s (waiting for prices to chill out still). However, my 980 Ti (overclocked) outpaced my 1070 around 10-14% on vray rendering (comparing like scenes), but it used 100-150W more power.

 

I'm curious if Vega's raw performance will make up for it's power draw in rendering (It's a great compute card for sure)
