“More” does not always mean “better”: higher power draw or size is a system requirement, not an advantage (such bars are dimmed).

Questions and answers
How much video memory do NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 have?
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti: 11 GB GDDR5X, 352-bit bus. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080: 8 GB GDDR6, 256-bit bus.
Which is faster: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti or NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080?
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 leads in every scenario with comparable benchmarks: rendering and compute. This does not imply an advantage in tasks without benchmarks.
