2080 super or 2080 ti?

[Mr. Cucumber]

Wait before you laugh I got a very good price on a Gigabyte Aorus 2080 Super (680 USD) but I have the cash to buy a 2080 Ti ... Now I work (SolIdworks, Blender (For fun and A hobby as physics simulations) and Autodesk cfd) and game when I have the time .... (1080p max on a msi optix 144hz display)

 

So should I buy the 2080 super or spend extra on the Ti?

Well there is a limit on how much a GPU is used in those programmes.

Here is a good video from Gamers Nexus concerning this.

 

I have a normal 2080 and dont think you really need the 2080ti if you only have a 1080p 144hz screen.

I was also thinking about buying the i9-9900k will it really hurt my workload (excluding the game part)

I haven't used solidworks or blender or anything yet but I bought a i9900k and rtx2080 super gaming trio . I've played hitman 2 on ultra high settings and the card didn't even heat up enough for the fans to start spinning at 1080p . This is at 60hz though

if you work and game sometimes ur prolly better off with a 3950x , the gaming difference is around 5% and isn't noticeable in most cases.

 

i'd go with the 2080 super and put the extra money into a 3950x and fast ram.

 

but if 144hz is of utmost importance then 9900k 2080 ti isn't a bad choice, but it'd run at 60% in blender compared to the 3950x.

I think this is good advice.  The new Ryzen 3000 series processors are outright annihilating Intel processors in things like Blender.  For example, I think a 3900x registers as around 60% better performance in Blender than a 9900k so your trade off is 60% better performance in Blender for roughly 5-7% worse performance in games.  You probably won't notice the the drop of 5-7% in gaming but you will absolutely notice the 60% better performance in Blender making going AMD a no brainer if your using this type of productivity software.   The 3950x is even better for productivity but you do have a cost premium on the processor at this point.  With the 3900x your paying about the same as the 9900k which would leave you the room to go ahead and get the 2080ti as well.
