GeForce RTX 2080 Ti vs GeForce GTX 1070 Ti: In-Depth Breakdown

Performance: GeForce RTX 2080 Ti vs GeForce GTX 1070 Ti

The GeForce RTX 2080 Ti is dramatically faster, around 114% ahead of the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti. That gap is enough to move it up a tier: the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti is comfortable at 1440p, while the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti is better matched to 1080p. The GeForce RTX 2080 Ti packs 4,352 CUDA cores versus 2,432 on the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti.

Price & Value

Right now the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti starts at $374 EUR against $851 EUR for the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti. Despite being slower, the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti offers the better performance-per-dollar (~6% better value), so budget-focused buyers should weigh it carefully. The GeForce GTX 1070 Ti is trading below its $449 EUR MSRP β€” a genuine deal. The GeForce RTX 2080 Ti is trading below its $999 EUR MSRP β€” a genuine deal.

Power & Efficiency

The GeForce GTX 1070 Ti pulls less power (180W vs 250W), so it's the easier card to cool and the lighter load on your PSU. The faster GeForce RTX 2080 Ti draws more overall but extracts more performance from each watt β€” plan for a sturdier power supply if you pick it. Its more modern Turing architecture on a TSMC 12nm process is part of why it does more with each watt.

VRAM & Future-Proofing

With 11GB against 8GB, the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti has more headroom for 4K textures and memory-hungry creative/AI tasks where the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti's 8GB can fall short. The GeForce RTX 2080 Ti's memory is also faster β€” 616 GB/s versus 256 GB/s (352-bit vs 256-bit bus) β€” which helps feed the GPU at 4K and with heavy textures.

Which should you buy: GeForce RTX 2080 Ti or GeForce GTX 1070 Ti?

Choose the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti if you want the most performance and can absorb the higher price. If you're optimizing for value, the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti stretches your money further for only slightly lower performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti better than the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti?

The GeForce RTX 2080 Ti is dramatically faster, roughly 114% ahead. The GeForce GTX 1070 Ti is still worth it if value matters more than top-end frames.

Which is better for 4K gaming, the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti or the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti?

Neither is a dedicated 4K card; both are best at 1440p. For 4K you'd want a faster GPU, or lean on upscaling.

Is the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti worth the extra $477 EUR over the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti?

Only if you need the extra performance or features; on pure value the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti comes out ahead.

Does the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti have enough VRAM advantage to matter?

Its 11GB (vs 8GB) gives real headroom for 4K, heavy texture mods, and creative/AI work. At 1080p the gap matters less.
