GeForce GTX 1080 Ti vs GeForce RTX 2070: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: GeForce GTX 1080 Ti vs GeForce RTX 2070
The GeForce GTX 1080 Ti is noticeably faster, around 11% ahead of the GeForce RTX 2070. Both cards sit in the same broad class, well suited to 1080p. The GeForce GTX 1080 Ti packs 3,584 CUDA cores versus 2,304 on the GeForce RTX 2070.
Price & Value
Right now the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti starts at $227 GBP against $549 GBP for the GeForce RTX 2070. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti wins on performance-per-dollar by about 168%. The GeForce GTX 1080 Ti is trading below its $699 GBP MSRP — a genuine deal.
Power & Efficiency
The GeForce RTX 2070 draws just 175W versus 250W for the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti, and it also delivers more performance per watt — so it runs cooler and quieter and needs less PSU headroom. 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 GTX 1080 Ti has more headroom for 4K textures and memory-hungry creative/AI tasks where the GeForce RTX 2070's 8GB can fall short. The GeForce GTX 1080 Ti's memory is also faster — 484 GB/s versus 448 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 1080 Ti or GeForce RTX 2070?
The GeForce GTX 1080 Ti 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 RTX 2070 if you find it at a steep discount.
