Hello! I have an option to upgrade to an asus dual 1070 (non oc version) coming from an rx480..

http://www.asus.com.cn/Graphics-Cards/GTX1070-O8G-SI/

Its (1070) selling for 1600 dirhams / 350ish usd here in Dubai. My 480 would sell at around 200usd.

Is it worth the bump up? 1080p gaming only...

Yep, gaming at 1080p only. not really high on competitive shooter games, just casual PUBG. Mostly the games I play would be RPG's Nier Automata, the Surge, Project Cars on a 60Hz monitor.

vega is not going to be worth the wait over a 1070 now

im running an ryzen 5 1500x, 3.8ghz OC on water. 16gb 2666mhz ram on 2 sticks, 550watt psu (80 bronze)

monitor is 1080p, 60hz.. 1070 a bit overkill? 1060 would just be a side grade...
