FYI 

There's been some anecdotal problems in flight sim Forums recently re:  Absolute failure of the Nvidia 2080 in some PC's...

The bad news: The expensive RTX cards don't offer large performance increases and a number of them have faulty memory.

The good news: The bad news is forcing a price drop.

And that is pretty sad.  Is it just me or does it seem that every other generation of Nvidia video card has issues... sort of like the progression of Windows... or the Star Trek (original series actors) movies?

My computer: ABS Gladiator Gaming PC featuring an Intel 10700F CPU, EVGA CLC-240 AIO cooler (dead fans replaced with Noctua fans), Asus Tuf Gaming B460M Plus motherboard, 16GB DDR4-3000 RAM, 1 TB NVMe SSD, EVGA RTX3070 FTW3 video card, dead EVGA 750 watt power supply replaced with Antec 900 watt PSU.
