Which graphics card is better?

[Mabbott7]

I am going to build a new pc and have picked the following parts:

 

Intel Core i7-9700K 3.6 GHz 8-Core Processor

 

MSI GeForce RTX 2070 8 GB Video Card

 

Gigabyte Z390 AORUS ULTRA ATX LGA1151 Motherboard

 

Samsung 860 Evo 1 TB 2.5" Solid State Drive

 

Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3000 Memory

 

I was wondering if i should replace the RTX 2070 with a GTX 1080 ti

based only on performance not price

 

Also i was wondering if i should swap the 860 evo ssd for a

970 evo plus m.2 ssd

The 1080ti is 2080 level performance with 11GB of Vram, and will beat the original 2070 any day, plus it sells for $500 or less on ebay for some of the higher end models. If it was me I'd get the 1080ti. Unless you want the RTX features than the 1080ti is the better option, however don't overpay for one.

how does it make sense not to count prices? Even tho 1080ti does have an edge especially in DX11 performance in general.

You should just step away from Samsung in general, even a replacement plan cost less than the premium of going Samsung. They arent the fastest either ever since PCIe 4.0 SSDs became a thing (backwards compatible) and even among PCIe 3.0 x4 SSDs there are plenty of similarly performing models at lower prices.

although, going X570 wouldn't hurt since their price range is 9700K rather than 9900KFSCMLO

1080ti can be overpriced, but I would go for it, as it outperforms an rtx 2070 easily. Unless you want ray tracing, go for the 1080ti. If you want ray tracing, and are ok stretching your budget a little, get a 2070. If you want raw performance and ray tracing, choose the 2070 super as a good value point for both. Don't forget to consider the 5700xt, as it performs similarly to the 2070.

oh it could, there's essentially no price difference between the two, so it will still be an argument of more multicore performance and gaming performance. Until B550 boards that can offer cheaper boards with decent feature set and power delivery the situation will stay.

oh and the Ultra is essentially a Pro Wifi with an extra M.2 slot and one or two extra little stuff tacked on, so you might want the cheaper Pro Wifi instead.
