AMD Radeon RX Vega is one of the highly-anticipated devices of this time. With its rumored specs and features, it is often compared to NVIDIA's product such as the NVIDIA Titan X, GeForce GTX 1080 Ti.

Although the specs and features of the noted devices are different, many tech enthusiasts are still curious as to how far these tech gears would go and which device would outlast the other in the tech industry. A report revealed AMD will have three variants of Radeon RX Vega: 4GB HBM2, 8GB HBM2, and 16GB of HBM2, but here's the catch, AMD promises that the Radeon RX Vega 4GB HBM2 variant can outperform 11GB GDDR5X.

Though the image did not specify any graphics card, it is safe to assume that it is referring to NVIDIA's recently released graphics card, GeForce GTX 1080 Ti and the report goes on to state that AMD Radeon RX Vega is powered by 2x the performance per clock and 4x the performance per watt compared to its previous-gen GPU architecture, reports the same post.

The Radeon RX Vega has the capacity to reach 16GB HBM2 as it runs on a 2048-bit memory bus with 14nm LPP process at 1600MHz.  On a different note, NVIDIA just finished launching their new GeForce GTX 1080 Ti, which provided better than TITAN X(P) performance for nearly half the cost ($699 vs. $1200)  and now we have custom GTX 1080 Ti cards like MSI's new GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Gaming X 11G that is beating both the GTX 1080 Ti Founders Edition, and TITAN X(P).

Despite the stunning figures, there has been no confirmation from the developers of the full specifications of the devices. Also, it remains uncertain on whether AMD Radeon RX Vega would outpace the NVIDIA Titan X and the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti.
