In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Asus ROG Strix Gaming OC 8GB Edition are significantly better than the Nvidia GeForce GTX 780 Ti EVGA Classified Kingpin Edition.
The GTX 1080 has a 712 MHz higher core clock speed but 80 fewer Texture Mapping Units than the GTX 780 Ti. The lower TMU count doesn't matter, though, as altogether the GTX 1080 manages to provide 28.1 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 GTX 1080 has a 712 MHz higher core clock speed and 16 more Render Output Units than the GTX 780 Ti. This results in the GTX 1080 providing 62.7 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 GTX 1080 was released over a year more recently than the GTX 780 Ti, and so the GTX 1080 is likely to have better driver support, meaning it will be more optimized for running the latest games when compared to the GTX 780 Ti.
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 GTX 1080 has 5120 MB more video memory than the GTX 780 Ti, so is likely to be much better at displaying game textures at higher resolutions. However, the overall memory performance is about the same.
The GTX 780 Ti has 15.7 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the GTX 1080, which means that the memory performance of the GTX 780 Ti is slightly better than the GTX 1080.
The GeForce GTX 1080 Asus ROG Strix Gaming OC 8GB Edition has 2560 Shader Processing Units and the GeForce GTX 780 Ti EVGA Classified Kingpin Edition has 2880. However, the actual shader performance of the GTX 1080 is 6691 and the actual shader performance of the GTX 780 Ti is 3275. The GTX 1080 having 3416 better shader performance and an altogether better performance when taking into account other relevant data means that the GTX 1080 delivers a massively smoother and more efficient experience when processing graphical data than the GTX 780 Ti.
The GTX 1080 transistor size technology is 12 nm (nanometers) smaller than the GTX 780 Ti. This means that the GTX 1080 is expected to run slightly cooler and achieve higher clock frequencies than the GTX 780 Ti.
The GeForce GTX 1080 Asus ROG Strix Gaming OC 8GB Edition requires 300 Watts to run and the GeForce GTX 780 Ti EVGA Classified Kingpin Edition requires 250 Watts. We would recommend a PSU with at least 500 Watts for the GTX 1080 and a PSU with at least 600 Watts for the GTX 780 Ti. The GTX 1080 requires 50 Watts more than the GTX 780 Ti to run. The difference is significant enough that the GTX 1080 may have a slight adverse affect on your yearly electricity bills in comparison to the GTX 780 Ti.

| Mini Review | Overview GeForce GTX 1080 Asus ROG Strix Gaming OC 8GB Edition is a Special Edition of NVIDIA's High-End GeForce GTX 1080, created by Asus. Overclock: Central Unit The Central Unit has been increased from 1607MHz to 1784MHz, whereas the Boost Clock can now achieve 1936MHz, instead of 1733MHz. Overclock: Memory Clock None. Frame Buffer Untouched. Cooling Solution DirectCU III Technology with Direct-GPU Contact Heatpipes: Exclusive DirectCU III cooling technology features direct-GPU contact heatpipes that transports more heat away from the GPU and outperform reference designs, achieving up to 30% cooler gaming performance. Performance At 1920x1080, Benchmarks Indicate a 6% Performance Boost over the Reference GeForce GTX 1080. This goes up to 8% at 3840x2160. | GeForce GTX 780 Ti EVGA Classified Kingpin Edition is a special edition of the high-end GeForce GTX 780 Ti. This edition comes with a custom double fan cooling solution which by itself should allow a slight performance boost, as GeForce GTX 780 benefits from the GPU Boost 2.0 technology. Also, it has been overclocked out of the box from 875MHz to 1072MHz while its boost clock is now of 1137MHz. The memory clock was left untouched. Benchmarks indicate a 10% performance boost when compared to the reference card and so this card surpasses the mighty GeForce GTX 690. | |||
