“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 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER have?
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080: 8 GB GDDR5X, 256-bit bus. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER: 8 GB GDDR6, 256-bit bus.
Which is faster: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 or NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER?
It depends on the task: rendering and compute: results disagree.
