What does this comparison mean?
Replacing a GTX 1080 Ti with an RTX 4080 brings a large measured performance increase and raises capacity from 11GB to 16GB. This compares Pascal with Ada, rather than two revisions of the same GPU. A complete upgrade budget should include the particular 4080 board's fit and power requirements; the benchmark contains no case-clearance or power-supply assessment.
GTX 1080 Ti 11GB has 11GB and RTX 4080 16GB has 16GB of graphics memory. Memory capacity, board dimensions, power connectors and the price of a particular used card are separate from this benchmark. Compare the exact item before deciding whether to upgrade.
The two GPUs in context
GTX 1080 Ti 11GB
The GTX 1080 Ti is a Pascal card with 11GB of GDDR5X. NVIDIA documented availability from March 2017.
RTX 4080 16GB
The RTX 4080 is the original 16GB Ada Lovelace model released in November 2022, distinct from the later RTX 4080 Super.

How the figures are compared
Both FPS figures come from the owner-supplied GPUsed benchmark dataset. GPUsed reports a continuous FurMark run at 1080p for its physical-card checks. The percentage compares the higher model average with the lower one using the original FPS values. Our rating uses a compressed scale, with the fastest GPU at 100; it is separate from the percentage difference. A benchmark result does not predict gaming FPS.
GPUsed reports its physical-card checks typically last 30 to 60 minutes while temperature and stability are checked. The owner supplied the model-level FPS workbook on 2 October 2026; this benchmark dataset was last reconciled 3 October 2026. Historical cards tested are separate from the number of FPS runs behind a model average. Full benchmark method.
