You are making an unfair comparison, compare it with  a 3080 ti. They are made to have a certain performance for the price range or the model.

The 1080 is the xx80 from Nvidia , so it should be compared to the 2080, 3080 and 4080.

Really it should be compared to other cards with a similar price tag. And that can include long-term pricing factors like power consumption. Names are somewhat arbitrary.
