2080 Ti Bottleneck + 165 Hz 1440p - is 1 2080 Ti good?

[Austin Borg]

First: WHAT CPU DO I GET W THE 2080 TI

 

Second: 1 OR 2 2080 Tis! JUST SAW SOME INSANE GUY ON HERE POST THAT HE GOT TWO!!!! WHYY???? I currently have a stupid 1060 and I can only really run fortnite on medium settings when at 165 Hz in 1440p. Trying to get ANY GAME (BF5, Tomb Raider) in 1440p 144/165Hz? Is 1 2080 Ti enough so I don't have to rob a bank?

Don't buy it until reviews are in.

I am waiting, of course. Just curious because honestly I prefer pre-built so just trying to make my IbuyPower system now then have it ready to order if the cards are pretty good.

A 2080Ti will almost definitely be strong enough to run 1440p at 144hz on ultra settings in most games. Hell, my 1080Ti almost does that...

It will highly likely run 1440p/144hz (even a 1080ti gets close to doing that). Nvidia and AMD no longer prioritizes drivers for SLI/xfire, so i'll be looking at one card myself, turning down settings as necessary, no need for ultra everything, waiting for an AIO version of the cards though.
