I am building a new pc right now I have a friend helping out too what I'll be using is Cpu i7-8700k Memory:2×8 16Gb ram 3000mhz and probably a z390 asus ROG strix e board I don't know which gpu to get I am serious gamer I tend to edit work and program with the pc I can Offord the new Rtx 2080 or the 1080 ti I don't know which is better the 2080 has better multi rendering and has Ray tracing for upcoming games but the 1080 ti is better in gaming but lacks the future part I will be gaming on 144hz or 240hz on 1440p or 1080p no 4k

battlefield 5 raytracing performance tests say that raytracing on costs 30 to 50% of FPS. at 1080P (less on 2080Ti, more on 2070)
based on that, high refresh rate gaming with it on is... not good.

Past that, 1080Ti is pretty even with 2080 (2080 is a bit faster) but... local prices matter a lot.
I got 2070 since it cost less than 1080 and was undoubtedly better, not due to new RTX benefits.

Long story short, my recommendation is.. "get the cheaper one" since they perform pretty much just as well.
If you care/need the new raytracing options for other things, then there is no real question there.

I would say gtx 1080ti or wait. Gtx 1080ti is cheaper and right now games don't have ray tracing support so we don't know how great ray tracing is and that's why that feature is not worth it right now. Also rtx cards doesn't have good drivers right now but i think nvidia will fix that in future. Both cards perform almost the same in games and handle 1440p gaming and editing. So what matters right now is the price.

Just as they guys recommended, buy the cheaper one, as comparison of both GTX 1080 ti and RTX 2080 using i7 8700k shows almost same performance at ultra settings on every resolution, even 4K.
