We've compared GeForce GTX 1080 Ti and GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, covering specs and all relevant benchmarks. GTX 1080 Ti 2017 11 GB GDDR5X, 250 Watt 48.12 RTX 2080 Ti 2018 11 GB GDDR6, 270 Watt 56.41 +17.2% GTX 1650 GTX 1060 6 GB RTX 3060 RTX 4060 RTX 4070 SUPER RTX 4080 SUPER RTX 4090 RX 580 Arc A580 RX 5700 RX 7600 XT RX 7800 XT RX 7900 XTX RTX 2080 Ti outperforms GTX 1080 Ti by a moderate 17% based on our aggregate benchmark results. GTX 1080 Ti RTX 2080 Ti GPU architecture, market segment, value for money and other general parameters compared. Performance to price ratio. The higher, the better. RTX 2080 Ti has 4% better value for money than GTX 1080 Ti. General performance parameters such as number of shaders, GPU core base clock and boost clock speeds, manufacturing process, texturing and calculation speed. These parameters indirectly speak of performance, but for precise assessment you have to consider their benchmark and gaming test results.Note that power consumption of some graphics cards can well exceed their nominal TDP, especially when overclocked. Information on compatibility with other computer components. Useful when choosing a future computer configuration or upgrading an existing one. For desktop graphics cards it's interface and bus (motherboard compatibility), additional power connectors (power supply compatibility). Parameters of VRAM installed: its type, size, bus, clock and resulting bandwidth. Integrated GPUs have no dedicated video RAM and use a shared part of system RAM. Types and number of video connectors present on the reviewed GPUs. As a rule, data in this section is precise only for desktop reference ones (so-called Founders Edition for NVIDIA chips). OEM manufacturers may change the number and type of output ports, while for notebook cards availability of certain video outputs ports depends on the laptop model rather than on the card itself. Supported technological solutions. This information will prove useful if you need some particular technology for your purposes. List of supported graphics and general-purpose computing APIs, including their specific versions. Non-gaming benchmark performance comparison. The combined score is measured on a 0-100 point scale. This is our combined benchmark performance score. We are regularly improving our combining algorithms, but if you find some perceived inconsistencies, feel free to speak up in comments section, we usually fix problems quickly. GTX 1080 Ti48.12 RTX 2080 Ti56.41 +17.2% This isthe most ubiquitous GPU benchmark, part of Passmark PerformanceTest suite. It gives the graphics card a thorough evaluation under various types of load, providing four separate benchmarks for Direct3D versions 9, 10, 11 and 12 (the last being done in 4K resolution if possible), and few more tests engaging DirectCompute capabilities. GTX 1080 Ti18563 RTX 2080 Ti21759 +17.2% 3DMark 11is an obsolete DirectX 11 benchmark by Futuremark. It used four tests based on two scenes, one being few submarines exploring the submerged wreck of a sunken ship, the other is an abandoned temple deep in the jungle. All the tests are heavy with volumetric lighting and tessellation, and despite being done in 1280x720 resolution, are relatively taxing. Discontinued in January 2020, 3DMark 11is now superseded by Time Spy. GTX 1080 Ti37672 RTX 2080 Ti47166 +25.2% Fire Strike is a DirectX 11 benchmark for gaming PCs. It features two separate tests displaying a fight between a humanoid and a fiery creature made of lava. Using 1920x1080 resolution, Fire Strike shows off some realistic graphics and is quite taxing on hardware. GTX 1080 Ti27564 +36.4% RTX 2080 Ti20210 Cloud Gate is an outdated DirectX 11 feature level 10 benchmark that was used for home PCs and basic notebooks. It displaysa few scenes of some weird space teleportation device launching spaceships into unknown, using fixed resolution of 1280x720. Just likeIce Storm benchmark, it has been discontinued in January 2020 and replaced by 3DMark Night Raid. GTX 1080 Ti142490 RTX 2080 Ti165122 +15.9% Geekbench 5 is a widespread graphics card benchmark combined from 11 different test scenarios. All these scenarios rely on direct usage of GPU's processing power, no 3D rendering is involved. This variation usesOpenCLAPI by Khronos Group. GTX 1080 Ti67360 RTX 2080 Ti137136 +104% Ice Storm Graphics is an obsolete benchmark, part of 3DMark suite. Ice Storm was used to measure entry level laptops and Windows-based tablets performance. It utilizes DirectX 11 feature level 9 to display a battle between two space fleets near a frozen planet in 1280x720 resolution. Discontinued in January 2020, it is now superseded by 3DMark Night Raid. GTX 1080 Ti394694 RTX 2080 Ti521458 +32.1% Geekbench 5 is a widespread graphics card benchmark combined from 11 different test scenarios. All these scenarios rely on direct usage of GPU's processing power, no 3D rendering is involved. This variation usesVulkanAPI by AMD & Khronos Group. GTX 1080 Ti85698 RTX 2080 Ti130888 +52.7% Geekbench 5 is a widespread graphics card benchmark combined from 11 different test scenarios. All these scenarios rely on direct usage of GPU's processing power, no 3D rendering is involved. This variation usesCUDAAPI by NVIDIA.
