In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 Ti are significantly better than the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Gainward Blower 8GB.
The RTX 2080 has a 285 MHz higher core clock speed than the RTX 3080 Ti, but the RTX 3080 Ti has 146 more Texture Mapping Units than the RTX 2080. As a result, the RTX 3080 Ti exhibits a 127.1 GTexel/s better Texture Fill Rate than the 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 RTX 2080 has a 285 MHz higher core clock speed than the RTX 3080 Ti, but the RTX 3080 Ti has 24 more Render Output Units than the RTX 2080. As a result, the RTX 3080 Ti exhibits a 11.2 GPixel/s better Pixel Fill Rate than the RTX 2080. However, both GPUs support DirectX 9 or above, and pixeling performance is only really relevant when comparing older cards.
The RTX 3080 Ti was released over a year more recently than the RTX 2080, and so the RTX 3080 Ti is likely to have better driver support, meaning it will be more optimized for running the latest games when compared to the RTX 2080.
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 RTX 3080 Ti has 3072 MB more video memory than the RTX 2080, so is likely to be much better at displaying game textures at higher resolutions. This is supported by the fact that the RTX 3080 Ti also has superior memory performance overall.
The RTX 3080 Ti has 388 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the RTX 2080, which means that the memory performance of the RTX 3080 Ti is massively better than the RTX 2080.
The GeForce RTX 3080 Ti has 5285 Shader Processing Units and the GeForce RTX 2080 Gainward Blower 8GB has 2944. However, the actual shader performance of the RTX 3080 Ti is 8932 and the actual shader performance of the RTX 2080 is 5034. The RTX 3080 Ti having 3898 better shader performance and an altogether better performance when taking into account other relevant data means that the RTX 3080 Ti delivers a massively smoother and more efficient experience when processing graphical data than the RTX 2080.
The RTX 3080 Ti transistor size technology is 5 nm (nanometers) smaller than the RTX 2080. This means that the RTX 3080 Ti is expected to run very slightly cooler and achieve higher clock frequencies than the RTX 2080.
The GeForce RTX 3080 Ti requires 320 Watts to run and the GeForce RTX 2080 Gainward Blower 8GB requires 215 Watts. We would recommend a PSU with at least 650 Watts for the RTX 3080 Ti and a PSU with at least 650 Watts for the RTX 2080. The RTX 3080 Ti requires 105 Watts more than the RTX 2080 to run. The difference is significant enough that the RTX 3080 Ti may have an adverse affect on your yearly electricity bills in comparison to the RTX 2080.
