Question 2070 vs 2080 thoughts?

[g-unit1111]

I'm still torn as to what GPU to buy. Right now I'm looking at a higher end 2070 like the Zotac: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814500442&ignorebbr=1

Which I'm told and looking at the benchmarks that it puts up 1080TI numbers and if so that is a steal compared to what else I've been looking at. I have also been considering and would be willing to put up the extra money to buy the EVGA RTX 2080: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16814487415

And FWIW, this is the monitor that I have and will be using the card with: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236399

Rig configuration is:

AMD Ryzen 7 1700
Asrock X370 Taichi
16GB G Skill Trident Z DDR4-3200
Samsung 960 Evo M2
WD Blue 2TB SSD
NZXT S340 Elite
EVGA G2 750W

I'd save money and go 2070 but you might need to lower settings slightly to get smooth FPS at 4K.

A 2070 might be a little weak for a consistent 4K 60Hz experience if you're aiming for High or Ultra.
If you're prepared to work with settings though, a 2070 can be viable.

You're looking somewhere between 1080 and 1080TI performance, but exactly where it lands varies depending on the title/API used.

Personally, I'd be comfortable with 4K low-medium on a 2070, and would rather save the money that investing in a 2080.

I suggest you buy the strongest card your wallet and conscience will permit.
If you do not, you will always be second guessing yourself.
The higher price hurts for a little while, but if you are dissatisfied with a lesser card, that can hurt for a long time.

As an alternative buy the cheaper card from EVGA.
Read up on their 90 day free trade up offer incase you find you really wanted more.

Yeah that was exactly my line of thinking as well. I definitely don't play enough to warrant purchasing a 2080TI, and I feel like a 2080 would be several hundred more for only a +- few FPS difference in the games that I do play currently.
