selling one which should i keep?

1080Ti is equal to RTX 2080, so it is more powerful than 2070, and also comes with 11 GB Vram instead of 8 GB of 2070.

But 1080Ti doesn't support Ray tracing, that's a drawback. Now it's your choice.

I'd sell the 1080 ti if I had to keep one. I'd sell them both if getting a new one while putting that money towards it was an option.

overal I'd say keep the 2070

in 1080p the 2070 is clearly better
in 1440p they are equal in Performance.
and 4k you aint going to do on such a card.

the 2070 also has RTX, the 1080ti does not

the 2070 is also newer sand still gets geforce game ready drivers, the 1080ti does not

one argument for the 1080ti :
the 1080ti has 11gb vram
the 2070 just 8gb vram
->
does not offset the other things though,

Sell both and get a modern GPU.
Both GPUs are outdated big time.

nah a 2xxx series aint outdated yes.. it's still supported by game ready drivers.

as for buying a new card..
1080ti sells for 200 euro 2d hand (used)
2070 sells for 220 euro 2d hand (used)

A 4060 Costs around 330 euro.. (new) and performs a few percent better than an 2070.
while also dropping poweruse from 175W to 115W...

I would keep the 1080ti because it is one of Nvidia's best GPU's. But if it is about performance, the 2070 has dlss. Then again, fsr 3 works with the 1080ti too.

the 1080ti is also AIO watercooled. thanks for your replies

[Illusion of Progress]

The GTX 1080 Ti is typically about halfway between the RTX 2070 and the RTX 2080 (non Super versions).

Alternatively, it about equals the RTX 2070 Super.

In addition to this, the GTX 1080 Ti does not support mesh shaders, which may be a consideration in some games going forward. Alan Wake II is a current example. I'm not sure of any other current (or incoming) ones though.

If this is for most games recent or past and you won't be "looking forward" with it, I think keeping the GTX 1080 Ti for its slightly faster speed is fine. The extra VRAM may matter at times, or it may not.

Otherwise, if it's for future stuff I'd keep the RTX 2070 instead. If 10% is make or break you're on the edge of selling both anyway. Its 8 GB may not be great but with settings in check, it's enough for 1080p. Given it's an aged card itself, it wasn't an issue to have 8 GB since it didn't release with an amount too low like more modern iterations.

Personally, if I was ever comparing a Pascal to something newer and the newer thing was no more than 10% to 15% slower, I'd probably skip the Pascal. It's seven years old now. The GTX 1080 Ti hogs power for the level of performance it offers now, and it will lose drive support sooner. The only way I'd keep the GTX 1080 Ti is if the RTX 2070 sold for a lot more (I don't know if it does or doesn't) and you were planning to replace whichever one you choose anyway and the extra funds helps you do that faster.

Good advice.
Selling both GPUs will get him at least 400-450$.

Then, he can add $100 and buy a brand new RTX 4070, going for as low as $530 now days.
It will be lot faster and power efficient, also, he'll get a good resale value out of it in the future.

Otherwise, those 2 old card's resale value will be even more decreased in the future (if remain functional at all, after all these years).

sell the more valuable one, keepcthe older for a year and buy new card then sell old one

If it's strictly frames, you can have a look at this hierarchy courtesy of Tom's Hardware. The 2070 slightly out-performs the 1080Ti.

https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gpu-hierarchy,4388.html

They obviously each have their share of pluses and minuses. I guess if this was my decision, I would sell the older one first so that you get better income. I mean: if you wait 4-5 years, you might get hardly anything for it. Keep the 2070 for now and as a spare during the break-in period of any new gpu. Then sell it as well once you're comfortable.

sell both

[Let it all out]

Both
