Unigine Superposition is one of the few test cases where the RX Vega 64 on Linux is outperforming the GTX 1070 Ti.

But even with the better RX Vega 64 performance, that doesn't really change the situation for NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 1000 series delivering much better performance-per-Watt.

With Unigine Heaven, the RX Vega 64 was back to running slower than the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti.

Well, that's how the current GeForce GTX 1080 series (and 1070 Ti, etc) stack up under Linux. It will be very interesting to see the GeForce RTX 2080 performance when the time comes.
