I had a 470 8GB, and please it wasn't close to this. It is performing like a 1080 Ti (instead of an overclocked 1080) and using like 20% less energy. Vega really isn't inefficient at all.
As I remember it Polaris had the same uplifts from downvolting, just in another graphics cards performance bracket, so it's comparable, just not in absolute performance, rather in % gain, efficiency wise. But I still concur that Vega has to be voltage tuned, unless you want a power hog out of control. There's a video on Gamer's Nexus (originally it was a live stream), where this was done and the findings were phenomenal. Not only that, but overclocking is impressive too once you learned how to control the voltage. These cards are simply running on very conservative voltage settings stock, so no cards have any errors when delivered and initially used. The difference to nvidia is, they don't need this, as their GPU Boost handles it anyway and tunes every GPU to be as efficient as possible.

PS. Just saw that @btarunr is using the Emperor from Episode 3 now as his avatar. Funny :D
