NVIDIA made some few modifications that allow it to be both cheaper than the former GeForce GTX 1080 Ti ($1,200 versus $699). As well as slightly better performance (independent third-party reviews show the 1080 Ti averaging 2% better performance than the Titan X in 4K gaming).

According to PC Gamer, NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 1080 Ti uses the GP102 core architecture, with up to 3,584 CUDA cores. It ships with 11 GB of GDDR5X video random-access memory (VRAM). The graphics card has a typical boost clock of 1.6 GHz and overclocks up to 2 GHz. It also comes with an increased maximum power rating of 250 Watts, churning out 11.5 teraflops.

Though NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti has arrived packed with a lot of power, speculations now claim that AMD's Radeon RX Vega could actually have a higher performance of as much as 20 to 45 percent compared to NVIDIA's latest GPU.

While the actual specs and features of the AMD Radeon RX Vega have yet to be released, a recently leaked benchmark test reveals what potential buyers and users can expect from AMD's upcoming GPU.

Trusted Reviews has cited that the AMD Vega GPU will come with 8 GB of high bandwidth memory 2 (HBM2) with a 2,048-bit memory configuration. This includes two HMB2 stacks possessing 4 GB each as well as a 1,024-bit memory interface. The graphics card will reportedly also arrive with 4,096 stream processors, which is allegedly fast enough to outperform the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti.

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti is currently available at an MSRP of $699.

Earlier this month, graphics specialist NVIDIA launched its next-generation flagship gaming graphics processor called the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti. The 1080 Ti is in many ways like the NVIDIA Titan X that the company launched last summer.

GeForce GTX 1080 Ti will be the final piece of Nvidia's Pascal puzzle. It serves as the last graphics card of this generation before the green team unveils their new Volta architecture.
