I wouldn't rush buy something when I know later on I'll always wonder if I should have gotten the better one.

I think on the off chance that you have a 2060 as of now there is little advantage..and your central processor might be a bottleneck and not have the option to exploit a redesign.

He's playing at 1440; the CPU he has now might cost him 5-7 frames under heavy workload. Hardly a bottleneck.
 
But yes, now is a terrible time to buy a card. Wait until you see what AMD's launch looks like and NVIDIAs response to it.

Oof. I am not sure that was such a great idea. But I guess you were impatient.

The RTX 3070 pretty much matches the 2080 Ti, is cheaper, and your end cost would have been $275 for roughly the same performance.

Like I said, your current card satisfied your needs, and better options were coming. I don't know why you suddenly had the impulse. What's done is done.

Your 2080 TI is equivalent of the 3070.  I would wait to see if Nvidia responds to AMD's latest releases.  There may be a 3080TI or Super 3080...which may change the game a bit...
 
Just speculating
