Today I bought the Gtx 1070 out of impulse, AMD is generally always better in long term of an investment but they always are slow as [watch your language] to the pack. Nvidia release better stuff quickly but guts their card after 1 year forcing you to update every year. I dislike both companies at this point but AMD has edge in DX 12 and Vulkan (which heavily uses Async compute). I wanted to wait for Vega but that could be as late as June 2017 at this point.

Vega most likely won't be a huge performance leap to gtx 1070 and gtx 1080. (Fury X was touted as going to be the most powerful graphic card in the world triumphing over the Titan X, when released, 4 GB limited memory and was no where near TItan X, Nvidia has this issue also, Pascal last year was hyped up to have lower end have GGR5X memory and upper end have HBM2 memory with 10x more compute power than Maxwell, Reality? No HBM2 on high end, GGDR5x is high end, and to the Asian CEO, Pascal does not have 10X compute power than Maxwell, its a maxwell architecture with a die shrink and runs at 2X higher MHZ Rx 480 was hyped up as a gtx 980ti killer at a 200-300 dollar price range with HBM2. Reality? No HBM2 and RX 480 is basically a gtx 1060, r9 390, and gtx 970, seriously, they're all 1-2 FPS within one another in DX11 and DX12.
TLDR: Both sides fail expectation the past 2 years. I'm treating upcoming graphic card releases with lessons learned from No Man Sky (ty god i didn't buy it though). Most hyped things are probably just pretty meh.
Back to the topic at hand though, from these test results do you think I should keep gtx 1070 for dx 11 and dx12 gaming? or just wait for Vega because Nvidia can't do Async compute for their life (Vulkan and DX12, the future API, uses Async computing). But AMD is slow as fuck to release shit and most likely won't deliver even though all their graphic card age well.
