If you play at 1440p high refresh rate or 60fps 4k then go for 2080.

Really depends on the resolution you want to play.

I have a RTX 2070 and play on WQHD with 60 FPS Battlefield V.

If you're upgrading monitor too, then yeah a 2080 would be awesome. Get a high refresh rate.

2070 is a bit better than 1080.

This was exactly what I wanted to tell you. I wouldn't spend twice that much. 2070 is enough on WQHD. What do you need more?

If you can afford a GTX 1080 Ti or RTX 2080 get those since they can fully handle 1440P and even do most 4K with settings turned slightly down
