AMD points out that the AMD RX Vega graphics cards will offer excellent performance, keeping up with the NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti and competing in quality / price with the NVIDIA Titan Xp.
A few hours ago it was confirmed that the AMD RX Vega graphics cards will hit the market in the next few weeks. These new AMD graphics cards are highly anticipated and even, to create excitement, they have had the RX 500 Series as the opening act, graphics cards that consume a lot and contribute very little. Little by little brushstrokes of these graphics cards based on the Vega GPU are known. According to AMD, these new graphics solutions will be very competitive in the enthusiast range, competing head-to-head with NVIDIA solutions.
During a conversation with Tom's Hardware about AMD Ryzen processors, AMD's desktop processor marketing manager released a rather interesting fact about AMD Vega graphics. According to him, the new graphics solutions are being tested internally and they have seen that their performance is very good when compared to the solutions of the competition. Don Woligroski says that the performance of the RX Vega compared to the NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti and the Titan Xp is very interesting. Since the AMD R9 Fury X there were no graphics cards for the enthusiast market from AMD.
Rumors suggest that these RX Vega would have frequencies similar to those of the GTX 1080, but it is an unconfirmed data, of course. AMD will undoubtedly continue in its line, competing with NVIDIA on price / performance. The Titan Xp is more powerful than the GTX 1080 Ti, but the difference between the two is less than the difference between the GTX 1080 Ti and the GTX 1080, what's more, the GTX 1080 Ti customized by some assemblers equal or exceed the Titan Xp . If AMD launches a graphics card that competes directly with the GTX 1080 Ti and has a better cost than the Titan Xp, we can see an interesting and healthy competition for the enthusiast graphics segment.

if AMD does the right thing and hits the table, I'll be there with the Ryzen 1700 and a powerful vega. (I am not dedicated to gaming, although I also enjoy it when possible).
"Very interesting" = SMOKE
The really important thing will be to see what they do in the high-end to compete with the 1070, which together with the mid-range is the most interesting in the gaming market. A Vega that occupies the space between the 1070 and 1080 and another between 1080 and 1080ti would not be bad.
True, the truth is that this summer if everything goes well I will get an R5 1600X and a Vega 11.
"Seeing is believing" there is no more, when they presented the Vega logo they commented that they had the best GPU, but until that moment nothing was known about the Geforce 1080Ti, that is, if the comparison went against the 1080 it is credible, but I doubt Much that they offer something of the level Geforce 1080Ti because they would have to fill the gulf between Vega and the Radeon 580, in the end they are the words of the marketing manager.
The only thing I can say about it, besides the fact that AMD even created uncertainty about the existence of VEGA, is that it should be better than the 1080Ti and the Xp ... for the simple reason that they are very out of date with respect to nVidia and I do not think that AMD will release Navi soon, so VEGA will have to stand up for AMD during Generation and a half ... at least
Hopefully it is not saturated with work in such a way that it fails to comply with everything !! ... the thing is that one and another thing are paraded by nVidia while we continue waiting for Vega
