When you have to feel the best effects for gaming, video or visual graphics, it boils down to the option of choosing the best Graphics card. Right now, the competition is neck-to-neck between upcoming graphic cards of new era. We try to compare AMD Radeon RX 490 vs NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti and leave a choice for you to pick the best one.

First of all, both AMD and NVidia have not yet announced the launch dates for the above graphic card. However, PC world tipped that NVidia may release it as it preparing for final touches, while AMD may release Radeon RX 490 on early 2017.

As per Enstarz, AMD Radeon RX 490 and NVIDIA GTX 1080 are only the two such devices in the world market Ti which possesses high FPS with extreme Graphics Processing Unit (GPU). They are also having similar performance on various tests though NVidia emerged as the coolest one.

Both have powerful memory architecture but with a difference. AMD Radeon RX 490 has the GCN 1.3 Greenland XT, while NVIDIA has the Pascal P104-400-A1. But, AMD Radeon RX 490 enjoys 96 Texture Mapping Units more than that of the NVidia GTX 1080 Ti. However, the clock speed of NVidia GTX 1080 Ti is more powerful with 557 MHz more than the AMD Radeon RX 490.

The memory bandwidth of Radeon RX 490 is higher than GTX 1080. Higher bandwidth gives more memory load performance.  AMD Radeon RX 490 has the 8192-bit memory interface with GPU 8GB frame buffer of Second Generation HBM, while its memory Clock Operates at 500MHz. NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti has 256-bit memory interface with an 8GB frame buffer of Second Gen GDDR5X and the memory clock operates at 1251MHz.

Nvidia has recently launched 1050 Ti under $140. So, technically 1080 Ti is a powerful Graphics card and critics recommend this though it will be costing a little more than 1050 Ti. According to Mobipicker, NVidia GTRX 1080 Ti is more affordable than AMD Radeon RX 490.
