Question Should I go with an Nvidia RTX 2080 or 2080 Ti for gaming?

[Maverick1138]

I plan to either rebuild or replace my gaming PC either later this spring or summer after finishing graduate school. I may hold off to see what the story may be with AMD's Ryzen 3000 CPU series, but currently I am leaning toward Intel for a replacement CPU. My current PC set up uses an Intel i5-7600K CPU and an Asus variant of the Nvidia GTX 970. I am not certain on which CPU I may get if I go with Intel. I am considering either the I9-9900K or I7-9700K as candidates. I do know that in terms of gaming resolution I will purchase a G-Sync capable gaming monitor with either 1080p or 1440p resolution since I am hearing that the gaming experience at 4K has not entirely reached acceptable levels. A secondary task that I will likely perform on the PC will be basic drone video editing such as combining video clips and adding music and basic animation like texts and titles. Based on the information that I have provided, would I be better off going with an Nvidia RTX 2080 or 2080 Ti?

Thanks.

Well i think 2080ti is much better.
Both are good but if he is having a good budget ill say 2080 ti is much better option.

Save money get the 2080. I recently bought the Galax RTX 2080 EXOC White to match my build should have it soon and expect great performance

I’m gaming on a strix oc 2080 at 1440p and it does it easily. 2080ti and even 2080 is overkill for 1080p you will be more cpu bound . You need to pick your resolution and hz first then decide if you want ultra or can handle playing with settings.

2080 is a great fit.

If he's playing at 1080p, both the 2080 and the 2080ti are a complete waste of money.

As said earlier, pick a resolution you want to play at then pick the card.
If you are super rich and have money to burn, sure spend more than $1200 on a 2080ti but if you want sense over cents...
Then pick your monitor resolution as you could easily get away with a 2060 if you are using 1080p
