Should I buy RX VEGA 64 or GTX 1070 if I have a chance to buy RX VEGA 64 for 350 euro (used, 3 months, only for gaming) and I can buy the GTX 1070 for 400 euro (used, 2 years, gaming).

Which one should I buy? I know that gtx 1070 is better at power usage, but it's used for already 2 years...

So please help me decide!!!

Providing you have a sufficient power supply to care for the RX Vega AND it hasn’t been used for mining, then I wouldn’t personally say go for the 64. It is a much more powerful card and currently by your prices cheaper than a 1070.

Especially with the Vega card been much newer and only been used for 3 months it is a much better option in my opinion.

Would EVGA G3 SuperNova 650w be enough? (I think it will)

Yes providing that you have enough 6/8 pin PCIe connextors it will be sufficient. If you intend to go beyond just one you then you will definitely need an upgrade but for one it is okay.
 


If you already have it yes, but I would not overclock the GPU at all. Recommended is usually 750W or greater for RX Vega. So if you don't have it already I would recommend 750W or 850W.

Sapphire Nitro+ RX Vega 64 has 3x 8-pin PCIe connectors and recommends 850W power supply.
