In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Super Max-Q are very slightly better than the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 Zotac AMP!.
The RTX 2080 has a 43 MHz higher core clock speed and 40 more Texture Mapping Units than the GTX 1070. This results in the RTX 2080 providing 71.2 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 RTX 2080 has a 43 MHz higher core clock speed than the GTX 1070 and the same number of Render Output Units. This results in the RTX 2080 providing 2.8 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 three years more recently than the GTX 1070, and so the RTX 2080 is likely to have far better driver support, meaning it will be much more optimized and ultimately superior to the GTX 1070 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 2080 Super Max-Q 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 240.3 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 Super Max-Q has 3072 Shader Processing Units and the GeForce GTX 1070 Zotac AMP! has 1920. However, the actual shader performance of the RTX 2080 is 5576 and the actual shader performance of the GTX 1070 is 4658. The RTX 2080 having 918 better shader performance and an altogether better performance when taking into account other relevant data means that the RTX 2080 delivers a massively smoother and more efficient experience when processing graphical data than the GTX 1070.
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 Super Max-Q requires 215 Watts to run and the GeForce GTX 1070 Zotac AMP! requires 220 Watts. We would recommend a PSU with at least 600 Watts for the RTX 2080 and a PSU with at least 500 Watts for the GTX 1070. The GTX 1070 requires 5 Watts more than the RTX 2080 to run. The difference is not significant enough for the GTX 1070 to have a noticeably larger impact on your yearly electricity bills than the RTX 2080.
