According to the latest rumor report, it appears that the performance of AMD's upcoming Polaris 10 GPU will actually be close to the Radeon R9 Fury X and the Geforce GTX 980 Ti, while also being extremely power efficient.

Expected to be a part of AMD's upcoming higher-end Radeon R9 400 series graphics cards, the 14nm Polaris 10 GPU should pack up to 2560 Stream Processors and have a TDP of up to 175W. It will probably come with 8GB of either GDDR5 or GDDR5X memory and should give competition a run for its money.

According to a fresh report from Wccftech.com, the early performance results from the Polaris 10 GPU are actually promising as the GPU hits around 4000 points in 3DMark FireStrike Ultra benchmark, which is exactly around the score that both the Geforce GTX 980 Ti and Radeon Fury X get from the same benchmark.

AMD was quite keen to note that the upcoming Polaris GPU architecture will bring impressive improvements in performance per Watt. The same report suggest that while the TDP of the Polaris 10 GPU is at around 175W, the TDP is actually lower, hitting somewhere between 110 and 150W.

Unfortunately, there are no report on the actual price but if AMD manage to keep it below US $300, it will definitely have a winner on its hands.
