What screen resolution do you game at?

Well... either card will do fine at 1440p. The Ti being slighty better of course. Check out some "vs" videos and see if the difference is worth the extra cost to you.

Agreed, both would work well. What is the price difference? Assuming you're buying used and that's why you're not considering 20series?

I'd personally go with the ti, but only if it was a good deal. A 2070S is usually the price as a used 1080ti.

My RTX 2070 died. Thats why I avoid that and go for gtx 10 series. I just looked up the best GPU for my i7 7800x and the first one that showed up was 1080 with the 1070ti, 1070, and then 1080ti.
The price difference is 400euros for 1080 and 559 for 1080ti used ones with 2 years warranty so (159euros).

I guess it's going to depend on how deep your wallet is, then. If the difference of 159euros is exposable income to you, go for Ti. I always prefer to play games at the max settings if possible (love eye candy, not a competitive gamer). That's why I use a RTX 2070 playing at 1080p/60Hz... lol.

Btw, where did you search out the best card for your CPU?

If you had an RTX 2070 fail, then it should still be covered by warranty, right? If that's the case, why not just get that replaced?

As for performance, a 1080 will generally perform roughly similar to a 2060, but lacks hardware raytracing support and some other new hardware features that may offer better performance and/or visuals in future games. So, €400 for a used 1080 with limited warranty coverage seems questionable to me. I don't know what country you are in, but it might be possible to get a brand new 2060 with better warranty coverage for around €350. Even at the exact same price with both cards being new, I would go for a 2060 over a 1080. Of course, either option would be about 20% slower than a 2070.

Likewise, a 1080 Ti generally performs a little faster than a 2070, but again, lacks those new hardware features. A 2070 SUPER will typically perform roughly similar to a 1080 Ti though, and you may be able to find one of those new for about the same price as that used 1080 Ti. So again, at a similar price, I would go with a 2070 SUPER over a 1080 Ti, even if both cards were new.

If you had a 2070 fail, that doesn't mean all 20-series card will fail, and I would be more concerned about how a used card was treated, and what kind of warranty coverage it might have in this price range.

Another card to consider might be the Radeon RX 5700 XT, which generally performs slightly faster than a 2070, but slightly behind a 2070 SUPER or 1080 Ti. Like the 1080 Ti, that card also lacks hardware raytracing support, but can be found new for €100+ less than a 2070 SUPER.
