If you're going to be mining ether or other cryptos, go vega. If you're gaming, even if you have a freesync monitor, still go for a 1080 or 1080ti and that monitor will still be super smooth. I'm 144fps+ in almost all games at full res/quality. Even the laptop is giving me almost 60fps in 4k on my tv and almost 100 fps in most games in 1440p on my monitor. Just for context I'm mainly playing DiRT rally, project cars, overwatch, battlefield one.
Agreed on AMD dropping the ball, I was pretty dissapointed with the price/power draw/etc. I'll probably end up with a 1080 on this next build.
