First post, so try to be nice lol
Just started playing PC games again after a long layoff and in the past few months upgraded from the "old" GeForce GTX660 to a "newer" GeForce GTX970. The 970 is giving me reasonable performance in most games I have been playing but I will be stepping up my display soon from 1080p to either QHD SuperWide or 4K in the next few months as well as possibly building a new system to replace the "aging" i7 4770K build I am currently using. The 4770K is OC to 4.2GHz with a 120mm AIO (which will probably need replacing soon as it is 4 years+ and probably running a little lean on liquid).
My dilemma is a simple one really. Do I upgrade to a RTX2080, RTX2070 or go with a GTX1080 SLI setup? I am in a quandary as want a rig that will be OK for 5 years or so with some more modern titles (should any come along that catch my eye). Currently playing Diablo3, Battlefield4 & GTAV. MY head is leading towards a RTX20x0 card because of things like raytracing & being the newer architecture, but I don't think I will see much difference in real world performance in the games I play than if I had a single GTX1080, let alone SLI'd. The monitor I will be getting will not be a 144hz panel but maybe a 100hz/120hz if budget stretches that far, but more likely be a 1440p/4K 60hz panel. I will be pairing the card up with a i7 8700K if that helps (and will be OC it)
I intend to look for another GTX970 to SLI in the "old" rig once I do build a new one so the wife has a machine to play games on.
