The GeForce RTX 2080 Ti is dramatically faster, around 67% ahead of the GeForce RTX 2070. That gap is enough to move it up a tier: the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti is comfortable at 1440p, while the GeForce RTX 2070 is better matched to 1080p. The GeForce RTX 2080 Ti packs 4,352 CUDA cores versus 2,304 on the GeForce RTX 2070. The GeForce RTX 2080 Ti also has more RT cores (68 vs 36) and more AI cores (544 vs 288), strengthening its ray-tracing and AI-upscaling performance.
Price & Value
Right now the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti starts at $346 GBP against $549 GBP for the GeForce RTX 2070. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti wins on performance-per-dollar by about 165%. The GeForce RTX 2080 Ti is trading below its $999 GBP MSRP — a genuine deal.
Power & Efficiency
The GeForce RTX 2070 pulls less power (175W 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.
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 RTX 2070's 8GB can fall short. The GeForce RTX 2080 Ti's memory is also faster — 616 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 RTX 2070 or GeForce RTX 2080 Ti?
The GeForce RTX 2080 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.
