Depends how much value you place on the 144Hz. If you just want your well-optimised reflex esports games (CSGO, Overwatch, Siege, League, whatever) to hit 1440 144fps then it'll manage it cleanly, but if you're looking at modern high-end, triple A tentpole releases or demanding games (your Rise of the Tomb Raiders, your Controls, your Assassin's Creeds, your Death Strandings, your Jedi Fallen Orders) then a non-Ti 3080 will regularly slip below 120fps. Remember, a 3070 Ti is weaker than a 3080. EDIT: these benchmarks are at max settings of course so YMMV. RTX will mostly keep you down below 100.
