[CuriousIndian1769]

I have an i5 3570 non k i have two options 

SHOULD I PAIR IT WITH RTX 2070 OR GTX 1080

I know i will have fps loss in both cases which one is more appropriate?

Ask yourself: "Do I want Raytracing?"

If yes: 2070.

If no: 1080.

More like "Do you NEED a barely passable excuse for ray tracing?"

 

The 2070 is being discontinued anyway. A used 1080 is the way to go. If you have to have ray tracing, then get a 2070 Super. Also a used i7-3770 from eBay would be a good upgrade too.

Both actually bottlenecking your GPU because the CPU is kinda mediocre. iw ould say for the RT go to RTX-Super series instead of normal RTX. and do you really need Ray-tracing? some of the 1080 also have more Vram.
