In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 MSI Gaming X 8GB Edition are very slightly better than the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 Ti.
The GTX 1080 has a 101 MHz higher core clock speed and 8 more Texture Mapping Units than the GTX 1070 Ti. This results in the GTX 1080 providing 29 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 101 MHz higher core clock speed than the GTX 1070 Ti and the same number of Render Output Units. This results in the GTX 1080 providing 6.5 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 1070 Ti was released over a year more recently than the GTX 1080, and so the GTX 1070 Ti is likely to have better driver support, meaning it will be more optimized for running the latest games when compared to the GTX 1080.
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 Ti and the GeForce GTX 1080 MSI Gaming X 8GB Edition have the same amount of video memory, but are likely to provide slightly different experiences when displaying game textures at high resolutions.
The GTX 1080 has 67 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the GTX 1070 Ti, which means that the memory performance of the GTX 1080 is much better than the GTX 1070 Ti.
The GeForce GTX 1070 Ti has 2304 Shader Processing Units and the GeForce GTX 1080 MSI Gaming X 8GB Edition has 2560. However, the actual shader performance of the GTX 1070 Ti is 5235 and the actual shader performance of the GTX 1080 is 6383. The GTX 1080 having 1148 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 1070 Ti.
The GeForce GTX 1070 Ti requires 180 Watts to run and the GeForce GTX 1080 MSI Gaming X 8GB Edition requires 180 Watts. We would recommend a PSU with at least 500 Watts for the GTX 1070 Ti and a PSU with at least 500 Watts for the GTX 1080. The two GPUs require the same amount of wattage to run. As such, there is no need to worry about which will more significantly affect your yearly electricity bills.
