In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 Super Mobile are marginally better than the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080.
The GeForce GTX 1080 has a 467 MHz higher core clock speed and the same number of Texture Mapping Units as the RTX 2070. This results in the GeForce GTX 1080 providing 74.7 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 GeForce GTX 1080 has a 467 MHz higher core clock speed than the RTX 2070 and the same number of Render Output Units. This results in the GeForce GTX 1080 providing 29.8 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 three years more recently than the GeForce GTX 1080, and so the RTX 2070 is likely to have far better driver support, meaning it will be much more optimized and ultimately superior to the GeForce GTX 1080 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 GeForce RTX 2070 Super Mobile and the GeForce GTX 1080 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 127.7 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the GeForce GTX 1080, which means that the memory performance of the RTX 2070 is massively better than the GeForce GTX 1080.
Both the GeForce RTX 2070 Super Mobile and the GeForce GTX 1080 have 2560 Shader Processing Units. While the two GPUs have the same number of SPUs, the actual performance delivered by the GeForce GTX 1080 is 5989 and by the RTX 2070 is 5989. Knowing that the shader performance of the GeForce GTX 1080 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 GeForce GTX 1080. This means that the RTX 2070 is expected to run very slightly cooler and achieve higher clock frequencies than the GeForce GTX 1080.
The GeForce RTX 2070 Super Mobile requires 115 Watts to run and the GeForce GTX 1080 requires 180 Watts. We would recommend a PSU with at least 500 Watts for the GeForce GTX 1080, but we do not have a recommended PSU wattage for the RTX 2070. The GeForce GTX 1080 requires 65 Watts more than the RTX 2070 to run. The difference is significant enough that the GeForce GTX 1080 may have an adverse affect on your yearly electricity bills in comparison to the RTX 2070.

| Mini Review | Overview The GeForce RTX 2070 Super Mobile card is a high-end RTX 20 Series graphics card for laptops and considered an enthusiast graphics card based on the Turing GPU architecture. Architecture It equips a Turing GPU Codenamed TU104 which is a First Gen Turing GPU and has 40 SM activated, offering 2560 Shader Processing Units, 160 TMUs and 64 ROPs. The Turing architecture provides the world's first consumer support for real-time ray-tracing technology, or RTX. It also has 320 Tensor Cores for AI purposes. GPU The TU106 GPU used in the GeForce RTX 2070 Super Mobility is clocked lower than the desktop variant, leading to a slight reduction in game performance. The standard model has a base clock speed of 1605 MHz and a boost clock speed of 1770 MHz. Memory The GPU accesses an 8GB frame buffer of first-gen GDDR6 memory through a 256-bit memory interface, while the Memory clock operates at 1750MHz. Power Consumption With a rated board TDP of 80-115W the RTX 2070 Super Mobile is fairly power hungry and will significantly reduce laptop battery life at full load. System Suggestions GeForce GRTX 2070 Super Mobile is capable of resolutions all the way up to 4K (3840x2160) but is best suited for 1440p displays. We recommend a high-end processor and 16GB of RAM for optimal performance. | Overview GeForce GTX 1080 is a High-End Graphics Card based on the Pascal Architecture.
