Hey guys. So I'm finally needing to upgrade my GPU due to my recent monitor upgrade to 3440x1440 100hz, my old reliable 780 just cant cut it at this resolution.
So I was looking at either a GTX 1080 Ti or the RTX 2080 Ti. The 1080 Ti would probably be around $880, and the 2080 Ti being around $1400 all said and done after taxes.
Now, I do have the extra cash lying around for the 2080 Ti, but I'm afraid of these "dying" ones I've been reading about.
My question to you guys is, what would you do in my shoes? Save around $500 and just get the 1080 Ti and possibly upgrade the rest of my PC, or go with the 2080 Ti? (I'm on my 2600k @4.7ghz) I know this will be a slight bottleneck, but at this high of a resolution I feel an upgrade of the platform wouldn't be as significant as a GPU upgrade.
Any opinions on what you guys would do are welcome. Hope to hear back soon.
