In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 Super Gigabyte Gaming OC 3X White 8GB are very slightly better than the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080.
The GeForce GTX 1080 has a 137 MHz higher core clock speed and 24 more Texture Mapping Units than the RTX 2060. This results in the GeForce GTX 1080 providing 57.2 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 GeForce GTX 1080 has a 137 MHz higher core clock speed than the RTX 2060 and the same number of Render Output Units. This results in the GeForce GTX 1080 providing 8.7 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 RTX 2060 was released over three years more recently than the GeForce GTX 1080, and so the RTX 2060 is likely to have far better driver support, meaning it will be much more optimized and ultimately superior to the GeForce GTX 1080 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 RTX 2060 Super Gigabyte Gaming OC 3X White 8GB 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 RTX 2060 has 127.7 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the GeForce GTX 1080, which means that the memory performance of the RTX 2060 is massively better than the GeForce GTX 1080.
The GeForce RTX 2060 Super Gigabyte Gaming OC 3X White 8GB has 2176 Shader Processing Units and the GeForce GTX 1080 has 2560. However, the actual shader performance of the RTX 2060 is 3949 and the actual shader performance of the GeForce GTX 1080 is 5989. The GeForce GTX 1080 having 2040 better shader performance is not particularly notable, as altogether the RTX 2060 performs better when taking into account other relevant data.
The RTX 2060 transistor size technology is 4 nm (nanometers) smaller than the GeForce GTX 1080. This means that the RTX 2060 is expected to run very slightly cooler and achieve higher clock frequencies than the GeForce GTX 1080.
The GeForce RTX 2060 Super Gigabyte Gaming OC 3X White 8GB requires 175 Watts to run and the GeForce GTX 1080 requires 180 Watts. We would recommend a PSU with at least 550 Watts for the RTX 2060 and a PSU with at least 500 Watts for the GeForce GTX 1080. The GeForce GTX 1080 requires 5 Watts more than the RTX 2060 to run. The difference is not significant enough for the GeForce GTX 1080 to have a noticeably larger impact on your yearly electricity bills than the RTX 2060.

GPU The central unit runs at 1607MHz and goes up to 1733MHz, in Turbo Mode. Memory The GPU accesses a 8GB frame buffer of Second Gen GDDR5X, through a 256-bit memory interface, while the Memory Clock Operates at 1251MHz. Power Consumption With a rated board TDP of 180W, it requires at least a 500W PSU with one available 8-pin connector. Performance Benchmarks Indicate GeForce GTX 1080 can be over 25% Faster than GeForce GTX 980 Ti at 4K. In Fact, even the Dual Radeon R9 295X2 is easily topped. At 1920x1080, the default rank for all GD Graphics Card, expect a performance boost ranging between 20% and 30%, over GeForce GTX 980 Ti. As of May 2016, GeForce GTX 1080 is the fastest single Graphics Card available. System Suggestions GeForce GTX 1080 is best suited for resolutions up to and including 2560x1600. We recommend a High-End Processor and 16GB of RAM for Optimal Performance. | |||
