In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Nvidia Titan RTX are significantly better than the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 MSI Gaming Z 8GB.
The RTX 2070 has a 60 MHz higher core clock speed than the Titan RTX, but the Titan RTX has 144 more Texture Mapping Units than the RTX 2070. As a result, the Titan RTX exhibits a 185.8 GTexel/s better Texture Fill Rate than the RTX 2070. This still holds weight but shader performance is generally more relevant, particularly since both of these GPUs support at least DirectX 10.
The RTX 2070 has a 60 MHz higher core clock speed than the Titan RTX, but the Titan RTX has 32 more Render Output Units than the RTX 2070. As a result, the Titan RTX exhibits a 39.4 GPixel/s better Pixel Fill Rate than the RTX 2070. However, both GPUs support DirectX 9 or above, and pixeling performance is only really relevant when comparing older cards.
The Titan RTX was released less than a year after the RTX 2070, and so they are likely to have similar driver support for optimizing performance when running the latest games.
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 Titan RTX has 16384 MB more video memory than the RTX 2070, so is likely to be much better at displaying game textures at higher resolutions. This is supported by the fact that the Titan RTX also has superior memory performance overall.
The Titan RTX has 224 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the RTX 2070, which means that the memory performance of the Titan RTX is massively better than the RTX 2070.
The GeForce RTX 2070 MSI Gaming Z 8GB has 2304 Shader Processing Units and the Titan RTX has 4608. However, the actual shader performance of the RTX 2070 is 4216 and the actual shader performance of the Titan RTX is 8156. The Titan RTX having 3940 better shader performance and an altogether better performance when taking into account other relevant data means that the Titan RTX delivers a massively smoother and more efficient experience when processing graphical data than the RTX 2070.
The GeForce RTX 2070 MSI Gaming Z 8GB requires 225 Watts to run and the Titan RTX requires 280 Watts. We would recommend a PSU with at least 550 Watts for the RTX 2070 and a PSU with at least 650 Watts for the Titan RTX. The Titan RTX requires 55 Watts more than the RTX 2070 to run. The difference is significant enough that the Titan RTX may have an adverse affect on your yearly electricity bills in comparison to the RTX 2070.
