Should I cancel a gtx 1070ti order for a Vega 56?

[foreverunsure]

Hey all, I ended up waiting for the RTX cards which have disappointing prices. Now I'm looking to get back into it, and managed to order a 1070ti titanium for $591 AUD off Ebay.

My issue is that, I found Asus Strix Vega 56 cards for $535 AUD, which you can apparently flash Vega 64 bios/undervolt and make it faster/consume less power? AMD cards also age better I believe.

Note: Planning to get the Viewsonic XG2401 (144hz Free-sync monitor)

So, should I go through the trouble of attempting to cancel the order (With ebay both parties have to agree) and get the Vega 56 or just accept the 1070ti?

Thanks in advance!

Just because you can doesn't mean you should flash. You can very easily brick your card and not every vega 56 is created equal. Some can run like a vega 64 and some can't. So to play it safe just keep your 1070ti order.
