In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 Zotac AMP! are marginally better than the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Max-Q 90W.
The GTX 1070 has a 617 MHz higher core clock speed but 64 fewer Texture Mapping Units than the RTX 2080. The lower TMU count doesn't matter, though, as altogether the GTX 1070 manages to provide 10.6 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 1070 has a 617 MHz higher core clock speed than the RTX 2080 and the same number of Render Output Units. This results in the GTX 1070 providing 39.4 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 1070, 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 1070.
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 Max-Q 90W and the GeForce GTX 1070 Zotac AMP! 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 127.7 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the GTX 1070, which means that the memory performance of the RTX 2080 is massively better than the GTX 1070.
The GeForce RTX 2080 Max-Q 90W has 2944 Shader Processing Units and the GeForce GTX 1070 Zotac AMP! has 1920. However, the actual shader performance of the RTX 2080 is 3621 and the actual shader performance of the GTX 1070 is 4658. The GTX 1070 having 1037 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 1070. This means that the RTX 2080 is expected to run very slightly cooler and achieve higher clock frequencies than the GTX 1070.
The GeForce RTX 2080 Max-Q 90W requires 90 Watts to run and the GeForce GTX 1070 Zotac AMP! requires 220 Watts. We would recommend a PSU with at least 500 Watts for the GTX 1070, but we do not have a recommended PSU wattage for the RTX 2080. The GTX 1070 requires 130 Watts more than the RTX 2080 to run. The difference is significant enough that the GTX 1070 may have an adverse affect on your yearly electricity bills in comparison to the RTX 2080.
