In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 are very slightly better than the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Kuroutoshikou Founders Edition 11GB.
The GeForce RTX 2080 has a 35 MHz higher core clock speed than the GTX 1080 Ti, but the GTX 1080 Ti has 40 more Texture Mapping Units than the GeForce RTX 2080. As a result, the GTX 1080 Ti exhibits a 52.7 GTexel/s better Texture Fill Rate than the GeForce RTX 2080. This still holds weight but shader performance is generally more relevant, particularly since both of these GPUs support at least DirectX 10.
The GeForce RTX 2080 has a 35 MHz higher core clock speed than the GTX 1080 Ti, but the GTX 1080 Ti has 24 more Render Output Units than the GeForce RTX 2080. As a result, the GTX 1080 Ti exhibits a 33.2 GPixel/s better Pixel Fill Rate than the GeForce RTX 2080. However, both GPUs support DirectX 9 or above, and pixeling performance is only really relevant when comparing older cards.
The GeForce RTX 2080 was released over a year more recently than the GTX 1080 Ti, and so the GeForce RTX 2080 is likely to have better driver support, meaning it will be more optimized for running the latest games when compared to the GTX 1080 Ti.
Both GPUs exhibit very powerful performance, so it probably isn't worth upgrading from one to the other, as both are capable of running even the most demanding games at the highest settings.
The GTX 1080 Ti has 3072 MB more video memory than the GeForce RTX 2080, so is likely to be much better at displaying game textures at higher resolutions. This is supported by the fact that the GTX 1080 Ti also has superior memory performance overall.
The GTX 1080 Ti has 36.4 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the GeForce RTX 2080, which means that the memory performance of the GTX 1080 Ti is noticeably better than the GeForce RTX 2080.
The GeForce RTX 2080 has 2944 Shader Processing Units and the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Kuroutoshikou Founders Edition 11GB has 3584. However, the actual shader performance of the GeForce RTX 2080 is 5299 and the actual shader performance of the GTX 1080 Ti is 7654. The GTX 1080 Ti having 2355 better shader performance and an altogether better performance when taking into account other relevant data means that the GTX 1080 Ti delivers a significantly smoother and more efficient experience when processing graphical data than the GeForce RTX 2080.
The GeForce RTX 2080 transistor size technology is 4 nm (nanometers) smaller than the GTX 1080 Ti. This means that the GeForce RTX 2080 is expected to run very slightly cooler and achieve higher clock frequencies than the GTX 1080 Ti.
The GeForce RTX 2080 requires 215 Watts to run and the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Kuroutoshikou Founders Edition 11GB requires 220 Watts. We would recommend a PSU with at least 650 Watts for the GeForce RTX 2080 and a PSU with at least 600 Watts for the GTX 1080 Ti. The GTX 1080 Ti requires 5 Watts more than the GeForce RTX 2080 to run. The difference is not significant enough for the GTX 1080 Ti to have a noticeably larger impact on your yearly electricity bills than the GeForce RTX 2080.
