Radeon RX Vega 56 vs GeForce GTX 1080 |
Released August 7, 2017
AMD Radeon RX Vega 56
- 1.2 GHz
- 8 GB
by www.tweaktown.com (Aug, 2017)AMD is offering up a huge 10.5 TFLOPs of performance and mixed with 1080p/1440p 60FPS+ gaming with cheaper FreeSync displays, or one of the new Radeon Packs.

Released May, 2016
Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080
- 1.6 GHz
- 8 GB GDDR5
by Ryan-Shrout (May, 2016)A combination of the 16nm FinFET process technology and NVIDIA’s path improvement to get clock speeds as high as they are is clearly giving the GP104 GPU a huge leap forward.
