In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 MSI Gaming X 8GB Edition are significantly better than the AMD Radeon RX 570X 8GB.
The GTX 1080 has a 540 MHz higher core clock speed and 32 more Texture Mapping Units than the RX 570X. This results in the GTX 1080 providing 123.8 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 540 MHz higher core clock speed and 32 more Render Output Units than the RX 570X. This results in the GTX 1080 providing 71.9 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 RX 570X was released over a year more recently than the GTX 1080, and so the RX 570X 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 Radeon RX 570X 8GB 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 99.3 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the RX 570X, which means that the memory performance of the GTX 1080 is massively better than the RX 570X.
The Radeon RX 570X 8GB has 2048 Shader Processing Units and the GeForce GTX 1080 MSI Gaming X 8GB Edition has 2560. However, the actual shader performance of the RX 570X is 2548 and the actual shader performance of the GTX 1080 is 6383. The GTX 1080 having 3835 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 RX 570X.
The RX 570X transistor size technology is 2 nm (nanometers) smaller than the GTX 1080. This means that the RX 570X is expected to run very slightly cooler and achieve higher clock frequencies than the GTX 1080.
The Radeon RX 570X 8GB requires 120 Watts to run and the GeForce GTX 1080 MSI Gaming X 8GB Edition requires 180 Watts. We would recommend a PSU with at least 450 Watts for the RX 570X and a PSU with at least 500 Watts for the GTX 1080. The GTX 1080 requires 60 Watts more than the RX 570X to run. The difference is significant enough that the GTX 1080 may have an adverse affect on your yearly electricity bills in comparison to the RX 570X.

| Mini Review | Overview The new AMD Radeon RX 500X series are an OEM version of the current RX 500 series. This RX 570X graphics card is one of the higher performance models from the new AMD Radeon RX 500X Series. The AMD RX 570X 8GB graphics card released in April 2018 as an AMD performance gaming graphics card. This card competes against Nvidia's GTX 1050 Ti. As a Polaris refresh, the RX 570X runs at a slightly faster clock speed than the RX 470. The specs of the Radeon RX 500X series graphics cards are identical to the standard Radeon RX 500 series. Architecture It is powered by the 14nm Pollaris 20 GPU, which has 2048 shader processing units, 128 TMUs and 32 ROPs. GPU The central unit runs at 1168MHz and goes up to 1244MHz, when the boost mode is triggered. Memory The RX570X comes with a 8GB frame buffer of GDDR5, through a 256-bit memory interface, while the memory clock operates at 1750MHz. Power Consumption With a rated board TDP of 120W, it requires at least a 400W PSU with one available 6-pin connector. Performance The AMD RX 570X 8GB has been built as a Mid/High performance graphics card for 2018. It will run most triple AAA titles released during 2018 on medium to high graphics at 1080p screen resolution. Performance is exactly the same as the Radeon RX 570. With adjustments and lowering anti aliasing this RX570 8GB card can confidently maintain 60+ frames per seconds on high graphic settings at 1080p. Moving to 1440p screen resolution and the graphics card may need to be adjusted down to medium in order to maintain 50-60+ fps. System Suggestions The RX 570X 8GB is best suited for resolutions up to and including 1920x1080. We recommend a mid range Ryzen 5 processor and at least 8GB of system memory for optimal gaming performance from the RX 570X. | Overview GeForce GTX 1080 MSI Gaming X 8GB Edition is a Special Edition of NVIDIA's High-End GeForce GTX 1080, created by MSI. Overclock: Central Unit The Central Unit has been increased from 1607MHz to 1708MHz, whereas the Boost Clock can now achieve 1847MHz, instead of 1733MHz. Overclock: Memory Clock The Operating Memory Clock has been increased from 1250MHZ to 1263MHz. Frame Buffer Untouched. Cooling Solution Just like in games, the exclusive MSI TORX 2.0 Fan technology uses the power of teamwork to allow the TWIN FROZR VI to achieve new levels of cool. TORX 2.0 Fan design generates 22% more air pressure for supremely silent performance in the heat of battle. Performance At 1920x1080, Benchmarks Indicate a 5% Performance Boost over the Reference GeForce GTX 1080. This goes up to 7% at 3840x2160. | |||
