Until 4k HDR becomes a standard thing on HDMI / Display port X.0 I will probably end up sticking to my Vega.
Unless another game like Eve Online comes over and takes over my life for a few years. <eyes Star Citizen sideways>

It would have to be a really good offering from AMD for me to be willing to even look at their cards, they always seem to be 'nearly' as good as the Nvidia offerings, and I still have painful memories of the old driver problems (admittedly from a long time ago).
Up to them really I'm not brand loyal, I just buy the best at the time of an upgrade or new build. Now that I am older and wiser with money, All I care about is the enthusiast end these days and am currently on 2080Ti.
Who ever first offers something faster than that by at least 30% will end up in next build.
AMD has won me over on 3950X as soon as it comes out as I'm still on almost 6 year old Haswell-E 5960X, Hopefully they can offer something in high end gpu land within a year or two.
I still have PTSD from the old "Catalyst Control Centre" AMD driver software when growing up. The worst piece of graphics software (if you can even call it that) ever designed. The first time I used Nvidia's GeForce experience it was revolutionary for me, coming from trash like CCC. I've never looked back.
Agree the CCC was awful. Having since used both Geforce Experience and whatever the replacement for CCC is called they're both fine.
That said, apart from when I first install a new GPU or to apply updates I don't think I've ever spent any time in either software. Unless I overclock is there any reason to do so?
If it ain't broke don't try to fix it - meaning I'll probably get an Amphere gpu to replace my 1070. A priority for me is a gpu that just works, that's more important then a few ££ or fps. As long as Nvidia keep giving me a trouble free life I'll pay the tax.
I have just ordered a full red build and will be buying a 200usd 1440p@75Hz 32" IPS with freesync next month
I've been using Nvidia Graphics cards for over 20 years, and have tried a few AMD cards over the years - Nvidia has always been more stable for me, AMD came close in the crossover years of Win98 to Win XP. And with what I've seen from some of the posts here, that's still likely true.
AMD Radeon possibly a Sapphire 5700XT together with the AMD Ryzen 7 3800X, I already have a Freesync monitor, just waiting to see what the prices are like on Black Friday. Trying to sell off my complete Skylake rig on eBay UK. If not then It'll just have to be an Intel i7 6700K and a Gigabyte Z170X Gaming 7 LGA 1151 REV 1 for sale.
