Er you realize the 1080ti is considerably more powerful than a 2060 right?. In fact even the GTX 1080 beats the 2060 in most games.
If you check Youtube benchmarks, a 1080ti is very close to the 2070 Super in benchmarks., anfd a 2070 Super can exceed PS5 and XSX in game benchmarks.
there are some games that use specific dx12 instructions that makes 2060 somewhat faster than 1080Ti
2060 outperforms the 1080ti in fc6 at 1080p and ties it at 1440p

2060 simply murders and decimates the 1080ti in halo infinite;

and they are mostly "tied" in cyberpunk

its not happening with every game (as a matter of fact, in fh5 and dying light 2, even more recent dx12 titles, 1080ti still outpeforms 2060). but there are already occurences where 1080ti falls below 2060 and cannot even hold a candle to 2070-2070s)
this will only be more frequent, with more engines fully embracing dx12/dx12u features that both turing and ampere cards can benefit from. remember that even pascal had jank and wonky dx12 support, so they will fall short in certain games with certain workloads
i'm not generalizing anything by the way, nor I'm claiming 2060 is a better GPU than 1080ti. i just say that 2060 can outperform 1080ti or 1080ti can be slower than 2060 in certain cases, and those cases will be more frequent, despite their relation in the past. spiderman for example works faster on 1080ti than 2060. maybe it depends on how much work developers do for older architectures. but at this point, it comes down to this anyways. it all depends how much work dev put into for your architecture.
look at guardians of galaxy, a 1050ti outperforms a gtx 980 in that game, because developers simply refused to optimized the game for maxwell, and game runs horrible on maxwell cards, while having acceptable performance on even entry level pascal cards. this reflected on their requirements too, having a pascal card as minimum (i gather this game too will show similar characteristics for maxwell. not saying they should do it, but there will come a time that devs will simply refuse to optimize for pascal as well. and considering maxwell already started getting this treatment, that day is even closer for pascal. but that does not matter anyways, they're simply, 6+ years old and they proved their worth honestly)
