In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 MSI Gaming Z 8GB are very slightly better than the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 Ti.
The GTX 1070 Ti has a 197 MHz higher core clock speed and 8 more Texture Mapping Units than the RTX 2070. This results in the GTX 1070 Ti providing 41.3 GTexel/s better texturing performance. This still holds weight but shader performance is generally more relevant, particularly since both of these GPUs support at least DirectX 10.
The GTX 1070 Ti has a 197 MHz higher core clock speed than the RTX 2070 and the same number of Render Output Units. This results in the GTX 1070 Ti providing 12.6 GPixel/s better pixeling performance. However, both GPUs support DirectX 9 or above, and pixeling performance is only really relevant when comparing older cards.
The RTX 2070 was released over a year more recently than the GTX 1070 Ti, and so the RTX 2070 is likely to have better driver support, meaning it will be more optimized for running the latest games when compared to the GTX 1070 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 GeForce RTX 2070 MSI Gaming Z 8GB and the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti have the same amount of video memory, but are likely to provide slightly different experiences when displaying game textures at high resolutions.
The RTX 2070 has 191.7 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the GTX 1070 Ti, which means that the memory performance of the RTX 2070 is massively better than the GTX 1070 Ti.
Both the GeForce RTX 2070 MSI Gaming Z 8GB and the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti have 2304 Shader Processing Units. While the two GPUs have the same number of SPUs, the actual performance delivered by the GTX 1070 Ti is 5235 and by the RTX 2070 is 5235. Knowing that the shader performance of the GTX 1070 Ti is superior, it is not necessary to examine the GPUs' respective Texture and Pixel Fill Rates.
The RTX 2070 transistor size technology is 4 nm (nanometers) smaller than the GTX 1070 Ti. This means that the RTX 2070 is expected to run very slightly cooler and achieve higher clock frequencies than the GTX 1070 Ti.
The GeForce RTX 2070 MSI Gaming Z 8GB requires 225 Watts to run and the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti requires 180 Watts. We would recommend a PSU with at least 550 Watts for the RTX 2070 and a PSU with at least 500 Watts for the GTX 1070 Ti. The RTX 2070 requires 45 Watts more than the GTX 1070 Ti to run. The difference is significant enough that the RTX 2070 may have a slight adverse affect on your yearly electricity bills in comparison to the GTX 1070 Ti.
