The much-awaited AMD's RX Vega GPU has been spotted in a benchmark test comparing it to the GTX 1080 with Pascal architecture. The results say that it beats a couple of NVIDIA's cards and even AMD's top card Radeon Pro Duo.

The benchmark results come from CompuBench, Hot Hardware reports, a website that tests GPUs with focus on computation. The results only show an "AMD 687F:C1," which is believed to be the upcoming RX Vega.

The said GPU bests the NVIDIA GTX 1070 and GTX 1080, both of which are still relatively young. However, it was not able to compete with the GTX 980 Ti, Titan X and the recently released GTX 1080 Ti.

It is worth noting, though, that the ranking is a compute benchmark. The results are more useful to those in the energy, medical, rendering and complex research fields. Nonetheless, they say a lot of the GPU and by the looks of it, AMD is cooking up a great architecture.

This is not the only instance where a mystery AMD chip was spotted on benchmarks. A report from Kitguru states that an "AMD 687F:C3" appeared in the SiSoft benchmark database, revealing more information about the card.

It seems like the AMD RX Vega GPU has an 8GB 2048-bit memory configuration, which means it has two HBM2 4GB stacks. The chip should also have 64 compute units, according to the leak.

A side by side comparison with NVIDIA's latest 1080 Ti cannot be achieved for now, however. AMD has yet to announce a release date for its new family of graphic cards, but rumors point to a May reveal date and a June launch date.

Meanwhile, gamers are enjoying the NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti. AMD better release GPUs that can compete with it in the coming months to regain its market share.
