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

Performance: GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER vs GeForce GTX 1070 Ti

The GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER is dramatically faster, around 75% ahead of the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti. That gap is enough to move it up a tier: the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER is comfortable at 1080p, while the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti is better matched to entry-level 1080p. The GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER packs 3,072 CUDA cores versus 2,432 on the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti.

Price & Value

Right now the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti starts at $359 EUR against $538 EUR for the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER wins on performance-per-dollar by about 17%. The GeForce GTX 1070 Ti is trading below its $449 EUR MSRP — a genuine deal. The GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER is trading below its $699 EUR MSRP — 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 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 2080 SUPER's memory is faster — 496 GB/s versus 256 GB/s — which helps feed the GPU at 4K and with heavy textures.

Generation & Longevity

The GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER is roughly 2 years newer than the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti (Turing vs Pascal), so it generally benefits from a more modern architecture and longer driver-support runway.

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

The GeForce RTX 2080 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 1070 Ti if you find it at a steep discount.
