2080 or 2080 ti for my use case?

[NickPickerWI]

I'm looking for opinions. Assume that the AMD offerings aren't coming at all - I'll make a comparison with those when they come.

 

What performance difference is there between a 2080 and a 2080 ti, and would it be noticeable at my resolution and framerate with the rest of the PC in mind? Is it worth the cost hike for a 2080 ti to you? And what model (of either) would you recommend today, and why?

 

For background:

 

I'm looking to upgrade my system just a bit, I'm designing a custom case to run a 240mm and 360mm radiator in a closed loop for my iTX system.

 

Right now, my current PC is in my tagline. I'm not happy with the 1070, and don't think it's worth the time/money investment to put a waterblock on it. The rest of the components will be staying (unless anyone thinks otherwise).

 

The monitor is a 1440p 165Hz panel, and I'll only ever have the space for one of them. I'm getting 80-120 FPS in Doom, and far less in newer titles. I'm also planning on getting a VR headset at some point to upgrade from my Samsung Gear VR. I also use Autodesk Fusion...poorly...but I don't think the video card is the issue there. I also do music and want to do video work, but I know this will be more CPU bound than anything, and may need a different PC built for this.

 

Whichever graphics card I get, I will be putting an EK waterblock onto, as I'm sticking with all EK parts (minus the reservoir).

Why a Radeon VII? Fusion is currently capping out my CPU, not my GPU. Would a VII help with it?

you're getting 16 gigs of vram that's faster than gddr6 for the price of a 2080, how can you say no to that?

 

iirc you even get some better professional drive support with it

This you have 2 factors going for you 1 16gbs of HBM2 and 2 the fact that it's pretty much a 150 instinct card.  HBM2 > GDDR6 in pro work.

So it benefits from the same thing a Quadro card offers, but with a lower cost and a card that can actually run games?

 

This interests me, how does it handle gaming at 1440p and >60fps?

One thing I've noticed no one mentioned is that the ti stands for titanium in the GPU.
