Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is one of the games that could really benefit from Vega optimizations, but even still the performance right now puts it in line with Pascal hardware.

The RX 580 continues to deliver the best value, but the supply of these cards are limited. It's good to see even with the current OpenGL Linux performance figures for Vega that the performance-per-dollar aligns with Pascal, but should yield more value once the open-source driver stack is better optimized for this new architecture. Let's just hope Vega supplies are good and that the prices won't increase too much if they are being pursued in large quantities by GPU miners.
