In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 are very slightly better than the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 Zotac AMP!.
The GTX 1070 and the GeForce GTX 1080 have the same core clock speed of 1607 MHz, but the GeForce GTX 1080 has 40 more Texture Mapping Units than the GTX 1070. As a result, the GeForce GTX 1080 exhibits a 64.3 GTexel/s better Texture Fill Rate than the GTX 1070. This still holds weight but shader performance is generally more relevant, particularly since both of these GPUs support at least DirectX 10.
The GTX 1070 and the GeForce GTX 1080 have both the same core clock speed and the same Pixel Fill Rate. However, both GPUs support DirectX 9 or above, and pixeling performance is only really relevant when comparing older cards.
The GTX 1070 was released less than a year after the GeForce GTX 1080, and so they are likely to have similar driver support for optimizing performance 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 GTX 1070 Zotac AMP! 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 GeForce GTX 1080 has 64 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the GTX 1070, which means that the memory performance of the GeForce GTX 1080 is much better than the GTX 1070.
The GeForce GTX 1070 Zotac AMP! has 1920 Shader Processing Units and the GeForce GTX 1080 has 2560. However, the actual shader performance of the GTX 1070 is 4658 and the actual shader performance of the GeForce GTX 1080 is 5989. The GeForce GTX 1080 having 1331 better shader performance and an altogether better performance when taking into account other relevant data means that the GeForce GTX 1080 delivers a massively smoother and more efficient experience when processing graphical data than the GTX 1070.
The GeForce GTX 1070 Zotac AMP! requires 220 Watts to run and the GeForce GTX 1080 requires 180 Watts. We would recommend a PSU with at least 500 Watts for the GTX 1070 and a PSU with at least 500 Watts for the GeForce GTX 1080. The GTX 1070 requires 40 Watts more than the GeForce GTX 1080 to run. The difference is significant enough that the GTX 1070 may have a slight adverse affect on your yearly electricity bills in comparison to the GeForce GTX 1080.
