AMD Vega 10 vs. NVIDIA Pascal GPU: Benchmark Reveals GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Will Beat Radeon RX 500 Series [Video]
The rumored Radeon RX 500 series on Vega 10 platform picks up peak, the question now comes on, how NVIDIA will match or even beat the soon to arrive AMD GPU platform?
To be clear on the fact that it is not the P6000, which will engage in a violent GPU slugfest with the upcoming RX 500 by AMD. On that part, Nvidia's hero card will be the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti that according to Yibada is confirmed to hit the market at around the same time the first of RX 500 card series is expected to come out. This would be within the first three months of 2017.
In recent reports, it was stated that Vega 10 running Radeon RX 500 will defeat Nvidia's GTX 1080 but with the upcoming Ti edition set to be unleashed next year, it will be a whole different landscape. And more so if the GTX 1080 Ti will prove a GP102 GPU solution, as Yibada's report said.
As showcased by the recent Quadro P6000 benchmark test, which the same report said is a GP102 card, the GPU class promises on a rated compute output of 12 TFLOPs (FP32) and 24GB of GDDR5X VRAM. The report also added that the memory is clocked at 9.0GBPS along a 384-bit bus.
The smooth game play result despite of the taxing GPU settings was a glaring proof that if the next GeForce solution from Nvidia will make use of the GP102 core then AMD's RX 500 series is in for a healthy fight.
There are also solid reasons to believe that Nvidia is serious in making GP102 accessible to the average consumers, which will be though the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti, which is the next logical step up as a Pascal card from NVIDIA.
It is already known to many that GeForce GTX 1080 Ti will be the last piece of Pascal architecture before it moves on to Volta architecture, it is still unknown to some that the Pascal GPU will sport a 10GB or 10240MB GDDR memory.
