GeForce GTX 1080 vs GeForce GTX 1080 Ti: specs and benchmark comparison
Short verdict
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti leads in every scenario with comparable benchmarks: rendering and compute. This does not imply an advantage in tasks without benchmarks.
Compare with AIRendering and compute
B +54.5%NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti leads in this scenario (up to 54.5% in comparable benchmarks).
No comparable benchmarks yet: gaming: rasterization, gaming: ray tracing, power efficiency.
Advantages
Only measured and rated values: a noticeable benchmark gap and specs where more is better.

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