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 108% 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 1080p, while the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti is better matched to entry-level 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 $359 EUR against $861 EUR for the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti. Despite being slower, the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti offers the better performance-per-dollar (~15% better value), so budget-focused buyers should weigh it carefully. The GeForce GTX 1070 Ti is trading below its $449 EUR MSRP — a genuine deal. The GeForce RTX 2080 Ti is trading below its $999 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 Ti 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.
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 — 616 GB/s versus 256 GB/s (352-bit vs 256-bit bus) — which helps feed the GPU at 4K and with heavy textures.
Which should you buy: GeForce GTX 1070 Ti or GeForce RTX 2080 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.
