I currently have a GTX 960 2gb, and it is struggling to support my 1440p ultra wide monitor. I am thinking EVGA GTX 1080 8GB ($469), or wait for the new GTX 2070 ($499). Which one is better? Is any of the prices going to drop after couple months of release?

What the 2 previous members should've asked first is what is your full system spec??? (especially which CPU are you using). Because without this information you could end spending a lot of money for nothing if your CPU can't handle a 1080/1080ti.

With that being said, and IF your CPU/PSU/memory are "strong" enough for it, if I was you, I would wait for the release of the 2070 to see how good they will actuallyperform... If you're lucky enough, you could even see a price drop for a 1080/1080ti... ;-)
Until we see actual benchmarks the GTX1080 looks better by core count. But we don't know about the architecture improvements or how much the faster memory will help.

If you were to buy now, try to snag one of those cheap GTX1080Ti.

Otherwise, yes, wait of the RTX 2070.
