DLSS is software, nothing to do with the card itself really. It's mostly marketing fluff and looks like an attempt to chain developers to Nvidia. It also requires devs to send their source code to Nvidia.

DLSS technology applies deep learning and AI to rendering techniques thanks to the AI tensor cores. It's still very much dependent on the hardware of the 20xx series. To call it "marketing fluff" at this stage is the definition of premature judgement.

Hi there
We know core count and core megahertz is great for low resolution gaming (1080P)
We know memory bandwidth and memory frequency is great for high resolution gaming (4k)
I would summarise 1080Ti will hold its own, maybe even out perform in 1080P with things being pretty equal at 1440P and the 2080 pulling ahead in 4K, particular with new technologies in use exclusive to RTX range.
We have stock, but there is no driver in public domain available, so we have no data to fall back on, but looking at both cards technology is how I would summarise them above, but its purely guess work.
2080Ti will just wipe the floor with any other card, in any resolution, it will be a new king, simple as that and by quite some distance. As it has more cuda cores, more core megahertz and a whole lot more memory bandwidth and frequency.
That is a practical expectation, but using that logic where the 1080 Ti will succeed it won't matter as both cards will be overkill for 1080p gaming.
