In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Gainward Blower 8GB are noticeably better than the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070.
The RTX 2080 has a 9 MHz higher core clock speed and 64 more Texture Mapping Units than the GeForce GTX 1070. This results in the RTX 2080 providing 98.1 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 RTX 2080 has a 9 MHz higher core clock speed than the GeForce GTX 1070 and the same number of Render Output Units. This results in the RTX 2080 providing 0.59999999999999 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 2080 was released over a year more recently than the GeForce GTX 1070, and so the RTX 2080 is likely to have better driver support, meaning it will be more optimized for running the latest games when compared to the GeForce GTX 1070.
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 2080 Gainward Blower 8GB and the GeForce GTX 1070 have the same amount of video memory, but are likely to provide slightly different experiences when displaying game textures at high resolutions.
The RTX 2080 has 191.7 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the GeForce GTX 1070, which means that the memory performance of the RTX 2080 is massively better than the GeForce GTX 1070.
The GeForce RTX 2080 Gainward Blower 8GB has 2944 Shader Processing Units and the GeForce GTX 1070 has 1920. However, the actual shader performance of the RTX 2080 is 5034 and the actual shader performance of the GeForce GTX 1070 is 4362. The RTX 2080 having 672 better shader performance and an altogether better performance when taking into account other relevant data means that the RTX 2080 delivers a massively smoother and more efficient experience when processing graphical data than the GeForce GTX 1070.
The RTX 2080 transistor size technology is 4 nm (nanometers) smaller than the GeForce GTX 1070. This means that the RTX 2080 is expected to run very slightly cooler and achieve higher clock frequencies than the GeForce GTX 1070.
The GeForce RTX 2080 Gainward Blower 8GB requires 215 Watts to run and the GeForce GTX 1070 requires 150 Watts. We would recommend a PSU with at least 650 Watts for the RTX 2080 and a PSU with at least 500 Watts for the GeForce GTX 1070. The RTX 2080 requires 65 Watts more than the GeForce GTX 1070 to run. The difference is significant enough that the RTX 2080 may have an adverse affect on your yearly electricity bills in comparison to the GeForce GTX 1070.
