Performance Analysis
Raw compute power sets the GTX 1080 Ti apart: 11.3 TFLOPS FP32 exceeds the RTX 2070 SUPER's 9.1 TFLOPS by 24 percent, speeding FP32-dominant training loops and simulations. FP16 matches this gap at 11.3 TFLOPS versus 9.1 TFLOPS, enabling quicker half-precision passes in modern ML pipelines. The 484 GB/s bandwidth on the 1080 Ti outpaces 448 GB/s by 8 percent, sustaining higher throughput for memory-bound operations and permitting larger batch sizes in inference. Greater 11 GB VRAM versus 8 GB avoids out-of-memory errors for oversized models in fine-tuning. Although the SUPER consumes less power at 215 W against 250 W, Turing tensor cores accelerate specific matrix operations beyond base FP16 figures. Overall, Pascal edges general-purpose workloads, while Turing suits optimized AI inference.
