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.
