does anybody know if there is any difference in Ray tracing performance between the 2 RTX cards? I run a 60htz 3440x1440 display and suspect the ti may be overkill.

The Ti won't be overkill for ray tracing, but given there's probably 1 game on the horizon that'll use RT, the entire RTX line seems a bit overpriced.

Wait until actual performance numbers are released and then you'll see.

Yes the TI is faster at Raytracing, something like 45 TRays for the 2070, 60 TRays for the 2080 and 78 TRays for the 2080 TI (from memory). Of course it's not raytracing the whole game, it's hybrid raytracing, so it'll be used to add specific raytraced effects (like shadows or reflections) in games that support it, while the game is still rasterized. As the nVidia guy said at the start of his presentation, they're still a long way from being able to fully raytrace games.

didnt the promo from nvidia say it would be 60fps at 1080p? makes it sound like it will be unplayable at the resolutions and refresh rates most of us have bought monitors with.
