Oh no doubt, I acknowledge that Vega 64 was inferior to 1080/TI design.
But 56 is better than 1070 design. Remember also that Vega has async compute, which can help in modern titles compared to pascal i.e. rainbow six siege, Wolfenstein 2 etc. Turing finally got async compute.
In general it has looked like this amd design did better on the lower tier cards, and didn't scale well with power usage/die size on the higher end stuff.
But the Vega 56 is just a cut down Vega 64. AMD basically cut 8 CUs. Meaning 14% less units.
The GTX 1070, is a cut down from the GTX 1080. 20 vs 15 SMs. That is 33% fewer units.
Despite this, the Vega 56 is only 6% faster.
The Vega cards are underperforming for how many transistors and how much energy it uses.
Then look at power consumption.
My previous numbers for the Vega 64 were not exactly correct. I posted the power saving bios.
