Greatness at a price

I built a new computer for couch gaming on a 4k UHD TV. I originally thought that the RTX 2080 non TI would be enough to get the max 60 FPS that is possible for the TV but it just didn't quite cut it.
I guess you could say I got lucky because the 2080 that I purchased continuously overheated no matter how I configured the fans in the case. This made me look into exchanging it for a new one and the closest Best Buy to me had the RTX 2080 TI in stock and not the non TI version at the time. I decided to bite the bullet and upgrade it. Now I get mostly 60 FPS on Assassins Creed Odyssey at ultra settings. I haven't tried any other games yet.
My biggest worry is that if the non TI version struggled without Ray Tracing then when it actually becomes available would it really be worth it if I had to adjust graphics settings or drop to 1440p or 1080p to use it. It could be that the Ray Tracing may drop the FPS on the TI as well but there is a better chance for it to stay closer to 60 FPS.
I don't regret buying the RTX 2080 TI, I only knock off a star due to the price. It is expensive but NVIDIA knows that they have the best card out right now and are taking full advantage of it.
