What is the AMD equivalent of Nvidia's GTX 1070?

I am looking for a more affordable GPU to game on a 1080p and 1440p 120Hz monitor compared to GTX options.

RX Vega 56 vs 1070:

I agree with SR-71's link.

RX Vega 56 seems about the closest matched AMD branded graphics card to a GTX 1070. Hard to come by currently, and overpriced, but otherwise not a bad card.

On the plus side, with AMD's Chill feature in it's latest driver suite, the cards can sometimes run under 100 watts when achieving the highest frame rate isn't really a necessity.

the closest one to GTX1070 will be Vega 56 although in reality Vega 56 probably almost as fast as nvidia 1080. that's why nvidia end up coming out with 1070Ti. the only problem probably will be the price since at certain place it can significantly more expensive even compared to nvidia 1080.

Wow..I never thought it would be Vega 56. I initially thought it was RX 580 that would make the obvious choice.
Would you think so?

RX580 actually compete with GTX1060. GTX1070 is significantly faster than both. even when OCed to 1.5Ghz RX580 is no where near GTX1070 base performance.
