A bit. The 2080 is essentially a 1080ti with ray tracing. I would wait until the next gen where you will get 1080ti performance in the 3070.

By then the CPU will be a major bottleneck I'm guessing. In fact with a 2080Ti it already is?

It can be depending on which game your playing. There are plenty of great CPUs to upgrade to right now if you wanted.
