GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER vs GeForce GTX 1080: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER vs GeForce GTX 1080
The GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER is significantly faster, around 38% ahead of the GeForce GTX 1080. That gap is enough to move it up a tier: the GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER is comfortable at 1080p, while the GeForce GTX 1080 is better matched to entry-level 1080p.
Price & Value
Right now the GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER starts at $70,912 JPY against $123,080 JPY for the GeForce GTX 1080. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER wins on performance-per-dollar by about 140%. The GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER still sits about $70,413 JPY above its $499 JPY MSRP. The GeForce GTX 1080 still sits about $122,481 JPY above its $599 JPY MSRP.
Power & Efficiency
The GeForce GTX 1080 pulls less power (180W vs 215W), so it's the easier card to cool and the lighter load on your PSU. The faster GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER draws more overall but extracts more performance from each watt — 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.
Memory & Bandwidth
The GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER's memory is faster — 448 GB/s versus 320 GB/s — which helps feed the GPU at 4K and with heavy textures.
Generation & Longevity
The GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER is roughly 3 years newer than the GeForce GTX 1080 (Turing vs Pascal), so it generally benefits from a more modern architecture and longer driver-support runway.
Which should you buy: GeForce GTX 1080 or GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER?
The GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER is the all-round winner here — it's faster and the better value, so buy it if it fits your budget. Only consider the GeForce GTX 1080 if you find it at a steep discount.
