I know these posts are all over the place, but I was hoping to get some more insight. I'm currently looking at upgrading my Zotac 1070 for a 2080. So far I've narrowed it down to two GPUs that are somewhat in my budget. I'm either looking at the Zotac 2080 AMP edition, or the MSI 2080 Ventus OC. Other places I've read say to go with the factoy OC version, so the MSI card is a little more tempting at the moment, but I've also had great luck with the current Zotac card that I'm using. Are either one of these better than the other, or is there another card out there that I would get a better deal for my money? Currently I'm only gaming at 1080p, but the plan follows shortly (hopefully) to upgrade to some 4k glory. Man PC gaming is expensive...

If your ok going used , consider a 1080ti. More or the less the same performance as a 2080, just without the native RTX features, some of which are coming to the 10 series anyway in a future driver update.
