GeForce GTX 1080 Ti vs GeForce RTX 2080 Ti benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti GPU is faster than the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti in gaming.

In our comparison, the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti has a slightly higher core clock speed. The core clock speed (or base speed) is the frequency at which the GPU core runs. This metric makes sense when comparing GPUs of a similar architecture or generation. In addition, the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti also has a slightly higher boost clock speed. The boost clock speed is the frequency that the GPU core can reach if the temperature is low enough. The allows for higher performance in certain scenarios.

Furthermore, the spec sheet for both these GPUs show that they both have the same amount of memory at 11 GiB. If you're planning at playing games at high resolutions with high-quality textures, you will need a lot of memory.

In addition, both the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti and the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti have an identical TDP. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti over the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti.
