Amd radeon vega at the level of geforce gtx 1080 ti and titan xp

Don Woligrosky, AMD Marketing Department Executive, has been through an AMA (ask me anything) session with the Tom's Hardware community to answer various questions about the new Ryzen processors. Woligrosky has not hidden from a question about the new Vega high-performance graphics architecture, about which he commented that its potential is on par with the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti and TITAN Xp.

AMD Vega would have managed to match or exceed the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti

AMD Vega is the new high-performance graphics architecture that AMD is developing and whose mission is to fight with the best proposals from Nvidia and its award-winning Pascal architecture. Vega will mark the premiere of HBM2 memory on cards intended for gaming, which will allow for much more compact solutions, something that has already been demonstrated previously with Fiji silicon and the Radeon Fury series.

AMD Vega takes twice the available video memory

If Woligrosky's words are true, the new Vega-based cards will live up to the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti and GeForce GTX Titan Xp, which sell for prices of approximately 850 euros and 1, 300 euros, it is to be expected that AMD's proposal It is cheaper although the use of HBM2 memory will not make it a cheap card so we should not expect much lower prices than those of Nvidia, as long as the performance is up to it.

AMD confirms the launch of RX Vega for this quarter

This would make sense the latest move by Nvidia to equip the GeForce GTX 1080 with faster memories to improve its performance, a situation similar to that experienced by the GeForce GTX 1060 to protect itself from the Radeon RX 580. Finally it has been said that AMD FreeSync is going to become the dominant standard over Nvidia G-Sync.
