In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Mobile are very slightly better than the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 MSI Gaming X 8GB Edition.
The GTX 1080 has a 328 MHz higher core clock speed but 24 fewer Texture Mapping Units than the RTX 2080. The lower TMU count doesn't matter, though, as altogether the GTX 1080 manages to provide 19.4 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 328 MHz higher core clock speed than the RTX 2080 and the same number of Render Output Units. This results in the GTX 1080 providing 21 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 RTX 2080 was released over a year more recently than the GTX 1080, and so the RTX 2080 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 RTX 2080 Mobile 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 RTX 2080 has 124.7 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the GTX 1080, which means that the memory performance of the RTX 2080 is massively better than the GTX 1080.
The GeForce RTX 2080 Mobile has 2944 Shader Processing Units and the GeForce GTX 1080 MSI Gaming X 8GB Edition has 2560. However, the actual shader performance of the RTX 2080 is 4681 and the actual shader performance of the GTX 1080 is 6383. The GTX 1080 having 1702 better shader performance is not particularly notable, as altogether the RTX 2080 performs better when taking into account other relevant data.
The RTX 2080 transistor size technology is 4 nm (nanometers) smaller than the GTX 1080. This means that the RTX 2080 is expected to run very slightly cooler and achieve higher clock frequencies than the GTX 1080.
The GeForce RTX 2080 Mobile requires 150 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 1080, but we do not have a recommended PSU wattage for the RTX 2080. The GTX 1080 requires 30 Watts more than the RTX 2080 to run. The difference is not significant enough for the GTX 1080 to have a noticeably larger impact on your yearly electricity bills than the RTX 2080.

| Mini Review | Overview The GeForce RTX 2080 Mobile card is the top RTX 20 Series graphics card for laptops and considered an enthusiast graphics card based on the Turing GPU architecture. Architecture It equips a Turing GPU Codenamed TU104 which is a First Gen Turing GPU and has 46 SM activated, offering 2944 Shader Processing Units, 184 TMUs and 64 ROPs. The Turing architecture provides the world's first consumer support for real-time ray-tracing technology, or RTX. It also has 368 Tensor Cores for AI purposes. GPU The TU104 GPU used in the GeForce RTX 2080 Mobility is clocked lower than the desktop variant, caused decreased performances. The standard model has a base clock speed of 1380 MHz and a boost clock speed of 1590 MHz. Memory The GPU accesses an 8GB frame buffer of first-gen GDDR6 memory through a 256-bit memory interface, while the Memory clock operates at 1500MHz. Power Consumption With a rated board TDP of 80-150W the RTX 2080 Mobile is fairly power hungry and will significantly reduce laptop battery life at full load. System Suggestions GeForce GRTX 2080Mobile is best suited for resolutions all the way up to 3840x2160. We recommend a high-end processor and 16GB of RAM for optimal performance. | 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. | |||
