2 RTX 2080 TI or wait for RTX 3080TI for max settings 1440p with full ray tracing?

[SHREDDER]

Now that many more games are supporting ray tracing iam considering to upgrade graphics card. What will it be better to wait for RTX 3080TI or buy 2 RTX 2080TI because as we see from games like Control Metro exodus e.t.c. not even a single RTX 2080TI is enough for max settings 1440p and max ray tracing.
I have
Cpu: Ryzen 7 1700
RAM: 16 GB DDR4 3200MHZCL15 GS KILL RIP JAWS
GPU: GTX 970 G1 GAMING
MONITOR: DELLP2416D 24'' 2560X1440 60 HZ IPS
HDD1: WD BLACK 4 TB
HDD2: 1 TB
PSUl CORSAIR 750M 750 WATT
Motherboard: ASUS PRIME X370 PRO.
While we dont know how much faster rtx 3000 willl be comapred to rtx 2080ti, it will be a dissapointment if it is only 30% faster than rtx 2080 ti. That why mabe will it be better to get 2 rtx 2080 ti's so i can get all the perfomance ray tracing needs?

First off, cpu isn't good enough.
Second, do you have any idea how much an NV-Link bridge costs?

And if you had that kind of money, go do a new build with x570 motherboard and 3900x first

You're also on a 60hz Display, and a small one.

But it can definitely do 60FPS, how is it not good enough?

Get 2x2080ti for now, and 2x 3080ti when they come out.

1. if you intend to buy 2x rtx 2080 ti or rtx 3080 ti why do you have ryzen 7 1700 instead of i9-9900k?
2. people play on 4k 60 fps with rtx 2080 ti
3. ray tracing is still crap
4. wait if you think rtx 2080 ti is too weak

[Bad 💀 Motha]

He seems to think Ray Tracing is the sole reason to buy an RTX card.

A single RTX, even a 2060 Super would run circles around that old gtx 970

But since your aim would be 1440p, then I'd suggest 2070 or 2080 Super

You don't need 2x RTX cards, lol

How many times do you need to be told by 99% of the HW&OS Sub-forum?

1. Your CPU is not good enough for even a single 2080 Ti.

2. 2080 Ti SLI will run like garbage on your system. Nor is SLI worth it, as the performance gain over one card is barely 30%. It's a fact that SLI is a waste because of the horrible support and bandwidth limitation, as well as the cost. When RTX 3000 releases in ~2 years, a single 3080 Ti would be vastly better than 2x 2080 Ti across the board because SLI is not a guaranteed boost in performance, and it would cost half as much as doing SLI. SLI is rarely ever consistent, as some games will run better with SLI while others run worse than with a single card and requires it to be disabled when playing that game.

3. You do not need more than a 2060 Super or RX 5700 for 1440p 60Hz. A 2080 Ti would be a complete waste on that monitor because it can pull 144+ easily at 1440p. 60 Hz also looks like crap in comparison to 61+.

4. Raytracing is still too new, less than a handful of games actually support it, and the ones that do require settings tweaks otherwise it'll run like ♥♥♥♥, even on a 2080 Ti. You don't need it, and in most of the DXR supported titles, there's barely a difference.

5. They aren't going to make more than a 30% improvement at best because AMD can't beat them. There's no point in making a big change when they have no competition. They'll make another ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ refresh that's barely better and people will buy them anyway because of their new-found philosophy of "build it and they will come."

For 1440p 60 it definitely is good enough... but so is an RTX 2060 Super or 2070. That was the point; there's no point in getting a GPU that costs 3 times as much as one that can get pretty much the same result on his current monitor.

Never buy new for a multi gpu setup, it's something you do when you get a used card at a fire sale price. If you didn't know, it isn't a feature you just turn on. It works game to game, update to update, if at all.

Also ray teaching is an immature technology, it isn't the meat and potatoes you make a purchase decision on, it's gravy.

[Bad 💀 Motha]

When I said cpu, I meant for 2x 2080 Ti

While not the best cpu, sure it would be fine for any single gpu you put along side it, especially for 1440p/60

Neither. 4080 ti minimum. Then every week ask about buying it and if it will bottleneck your 1700.

truthfully wait for the 30 series! why? price drops!

I ask now because most AAA tiles are getting support. When i asked again about 6 months they dfidnt have annnounced so many games with ray tracing support.

That will take too long to release not worth waiting for so long.

exactly 4080 not until 2024 minimum still id wait for the 30 series just until January 2020 sure all RTX will go down no problem
