AMD Vega 10 GPU is an upcoming graphics silicon card that the Radeon-red team is developing. The team has indicated that the card would be released early in 2017. The Radeon-red team has assured fans that the graphics card can challenge the high-end NVIDIA GPU stack.

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti is expected to be released soon as well. The device could be unveiled at the PAX East event, which is slated for March.

The AMD Vega 10 can handle memory traffic more proficiently, and it has significantly cut back memory distributions.
