1080Ti vs 2080

Currently looking into my first truly high-end system. I'm just a little perplexed at what to pick for the graphics card.

Currently here in the UK on amazon I can get an Asus Strix 1080ti for £40 less then a Gigabyte Gaming OC 2080. 

Im just confused at what I should go for since looking at certain benchmarks it looks like they're identical in performance, I do stream and game although at this price point I don't think that should be an issues

other then that I do sometimes to renders and make games etc. 

 

Thanks for any responses and help

They pretty much are identical in performance if you don't count ray tracing. Ray tracing, and work based things that need GPUs (like rendering with a GPU, or 3D modeling) is where the 2080 will do better. The tensor cores inside of the 2080 make it better for work and ray tracing than a 1080Ti. That's really the only difference. If you're not ray tracing, get the strix 1080 Ti.

Honestly given the price of these cards I'd just go 2080. It's newer and supports DLSS and will have better driver support into the future. 40 pounds is basically nothing at that price point so I'd just go with the newer card.

You can make a poll if you want, but anyways I would recommend an RTX 2080 unless you have a $100 price difference.
