Bying 2 RTX 2080TI for Christmas or wait for next series?

[SHREDDER]

Iam seriously considering to buy 2 RTX 2080TI's some time this week for christmas .My pc now is
Motherboard: ASUS PRIME X370 PRO
CPU: RYZEN 7 1700
RAM: 16 GB DDR4 3200MHZCL15 GS KILL RIP JAWS
GPU:l GTX 970 G1 GAMING
PSU: CORSAIR 750M 750 WATT
HDD1: TB
HDD2: WD BLACK 4 TB
MONITOR: DELLP2416D 24'' 2560X1440 60 HZ IPS

As you see from the specs i upgraded monitor and psu in 2016 and also upgraded cpu ram motherboard and hdd in 2017. Games still run at max settings 1440p at 30+ fps and since a single RTX card is not worth due to how expensive they are(even fo 550 euros that the cheapest RTX 2070 currently cost) a single RTX card is out of the question. But what about TWO of them. Or wait for the next series and the buy RTX 3070 3080 or 3080TI? Currently cheapest RTX 2080TI in my country is the palit version for 1277 euros then it is the Gainward Phoenixfor 1395 then the Asus Dual for 1424 then MSI gamign X trio for 1545 and the price is rising until 1700 for gigabyte xtreme. However since the money i make each year are as much as the cost of 10 RTX 2080 ti's cost will not be a problem for me. But if next series will be at least 50% more powerful than RTX 2080 ti for a cheaper price it will be worth the wait. What do you think should i do? Buy them today as a chirstmas presen or wait a little longer for RTX 3000 ?

And since you have "only" one 1440p/ 60 hz screen, i dont see the point.

Instead of two, buy one powerful card, it will last long enough. And the rtx 2080 ti will do a while.
.. im still rocking with a 1080 ti.

I'm still using a 1070 Ti. RTX isn't necessary by any means, just an option.

I'm still rocking a 980 ti. Admittedly it was the the most over clocked beast of a 980 ti ever released but it's on par with a 1070 ti in performance. It plays all the titles I want perfectly well and is solid in VR perfomance as well so absoultely no reason for me to upgrade it any time soon. I can (and probably will) wait for a 3080 ti. RTX will take a while to get added to the majority of titles.

Hmm I don't really see even a very overclocked card matching a 1070 ti, which is basically a 1080, a 1070, sure, but there's quite a performance jump between them.

Thats the 980 ti I own vs a 1080 (without additional over clocks)

This is a reffrence 1070 ti vs a 1080

Completely on par with a refrence 1070 ti. Maybe not so much with 3rd party 1070 ti's but I'm not going to test all of them. Eitherway, given the minimal gains in my case, there's no point in purchasing a 10xx card or 20xx card at this time.

The first video shows your 980ti no where near a 1080, and a 1070ti is limited to no oc from the manufacturers but has crazy headroom for overclocking getting within a few percent of a 1080, without an oc you might as well save your cash, so, yeah, it matches a 1070, not a 1070ti, and then a reference model vs a custom aio card.

The 980ti is a great card, it's just not quite as good as you think, not that it detracts from the card.

Also, I'm pretty sure the zotac amp extreme, evga kingpin, galax hof beat it out for raw clocks, atleast they did on all the overclocking charts.

Pretty sure Shredder is trolling again anyway. Been saying he's gonna keep his 970 for years and all of a sudden he wants to spend $5000 USD on GPUs....

If you get lucky with silicon lottery and manage to oc your 980 Ti above 1500Mhz - you can achieve 1070 Ti/1080 performance in some games, but then you can also oc the 1080, so.

I doubt we will see an answer from op, would say let the thread die..
