Interesting, Nvidia has the RTX 2070 Super listed for a hundred bucks cheaper than the RTX 2070. Same goes for the 2080 series. These are very good prices.

Thanks mda I appreciate that info. And thanks to all who took the time to respond and give me a tip or something else to consider. It really helps to hear from people who have already been down that road and took the plunge. Will make my final decision a lot less stressful.
Without using RayTracing, should the RTX 2070 or 2070 super both be able to run all the latest games well on a 3840 by 2160 display? I guess that's really the main thing I want to be sure of. I'll post my specs again for convenience:
Ryzen 7 2700x with
16gigs RAM on a X470 Aorus MB,
GTX 960...
Ok, thanks, guys. I'll pro\bably go ahead and go with the 1080TI unless I can find a steal on an RTX 2080. I agree with Archaes in that the RTX 2070 doesn’t have enough umpf to run raytracing anyway.
Thanks for the info. I was going to ask if I really need 11 gigs VRAM. I'm mainly concerned that I will be able to run all the latest games on the highest settings with no dragging. If the RTX 2070 will do that then my minds already made up. My current system spec: Ryzen 7 2700x with 16gigs RAM...
Was ready to buy the RTX2070 with 8 gigs GDDR6 because of the Ray Tracing but then I found a better deal on a refurbished GTX1080TI with 11 gigs GDDR5X for basically the same price but without Ray Tracing. I don't know anything about Ray Tracing except that I don't have it and I want to be...
Someone told me (not here) that the x470 Aorus would support the new AMD CPU's when they came out. Now they're saying it only supports 1st and 2nd gen. I don't get it. Has anyone tried it?
Glad someone asked this question. I'm also interested in the SP NVME SSD. So far just about everything I've seen looks good. I was also wanting to get some opinions about the size of the SSD drives. Do the 2TB NVME drives defeat the purpose? (Not necessarily referring to SP here. Just any brand)...
Good idea. I do like the price on the non RGB. I just noticed on the Gigabyte MB the specs say only 3200 (O.C.) is compatible. I assume that O.C. means that if I get the 3200 Ram that I will have to manually Over Clock it to get the 3200...
I've pretty much settled down on this to go with my Ryzen whichever (still thinking on that). If I don't pull the trigger this week I may just go ahead wait for the new stuff. I will still need this though so I'd like some input. Trying to keep the price down.

Saw that. Thanks. Looks like the 2700x is down substantially from 309.00 to 289.00 at Newegg too. Interesting. https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113499&ignorebbr=1
