What does this comparison mean?
The RTX 4060 is only moderately ahead of this exact 10Gbps GTX 1080 variant in the benchmark. A buyer needs to weigh newer features against the size of the measured uplift.
Both variants have 8GB 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 8GB (10 Gbps)
The GTX 1080 introduced desktop Pascal and GDDR5X with a substantial step forward in high-end gaming. It set a new performance and efficiency baseline before the 1080 Ti later took the absolute flagship position.
RTX 4060 8GB
The RTX 4060 brought Ada features and strong efficiency into the 60-class, but its 8GB configuration framed much of the debate around the card. It is a capable 1080p option with a narrower historical claim than earlier mainstream leaders.

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 above compares the higher model average with the lower one; the score scales every model against the fastest GPU in the current dataset, which scores 100. A benchmark result does not predict gaming FPS, and the percentage may change with the benchmark dataset.
