NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti Head-To-Head With AMD Vega 10: Specs, Release And Price Details [Video}
This year, the graphics processing unit department is going to get tougher as AMD and NVIDIA is battling it out with their latest GPUs: the Vega-based Radeon chips and the GTX 1080 Ti.
The most awaited and GTX 1080 Ti of NVIDIA was reportedly seen in CES even in Las Vegas but not under the booth of its maker but with Gigabyte. The much controversial card from Nvidia has been in the talk of the town for quite some time now.
More information is available now about this rig compared to AMD's Vega 10. The upcoming NVIDIA GPU is expected to perform with a base clock speed of 1,503 megahertz (MHz) and it will boost clock speed that can go up to 1,623 MHz, reports iSportsTimes.
Reports also state that the NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti will be built with up to 3,328 processing cores and VRAM of 12 GB GDDR5X. The card is anticipated to perform with a 320-bit memory bus width and a 400 GB per second memory bandwidth. NVIDIA's GPU is expected to arrive with 10,696 GFlops of computing power and up to 10.8 TeraFlops.
While speculations are widespread about Nvidia's upcoming GPU specs, it is still best to wait for NVIDIA's official launch of the product. It is rumored to be during the PAX East event in Boston on March 10.
However, rumors say that it will be priced below £750 or around $912. While AMD provided a glimpse of their Vega 10 GPU architecture later than NVIDIA did with the GTX 1080 Ti, AMD is going to provide you a competitive product in the pipeline.
According to WCCFTech, Vega GPU lineup will feature at least two graphics chips - Vega 10 and Vega 11. The most recent sighting of the lineup was revealed during the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas this month, where the Vega 10 was previewed working alongside another competitive AMD product, the Ryzen processor.
Vega GPUs will be having of High Bandwidth Memory stacks. For the Vega GPUs, AMD is expected to offer an option between 8 GB and 16 GB of HBM2. Just like the GTX 1080 Ti, Vega GPUs will utilize the 14-nanometer process node.
Vega 10 GPU is also going to feature 64 Compute Units or equivalent to 4,096 stream processors. Its base clock is known to work a tad better than GTX 1080 Ti at 1,550 MHz. It also proves to be better in the TeraFlops department with 12.5 compared to the GTX 1080 Ti's 10.8.
As for its release, the AMD Vega lineup is expected to get debut in May. AMD is speculated to launch the entire Vega GPU line sometime near the Computex event in Taipei, which will start on May 30 2017.
