Well, with all the stuttering I was getting at Spa before Chad loaded the version we raced on and also I am not completely happy with my performance with VR in RF2 and PC2 I have ordered a new graphics card. Was gonna wait till next year but I can't stand it anymore.
This is the card I ordered https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487319
I was going to get a GTX1080Ti but I settled on the GTX1080 just to save a couple hundred bucks. I don't think the difference in performance is that great for the amount of additional money the 1080Ti's go for.
If this does not substantially improve the visuals and frame rate in RF2 and PC2 I will be selling my Rift and putting the money towards two new monitors to go with my 21:9 LG wide screen and wait for the next gen of VR to come out before going down that road again.

The Ti version has substantially more CUDA cores (3584 vs 2560). Is it worth $200? In my opinion, yes.
I do GPU computations on large data sets, using "headless" GPUs. They can't build them with too many cores, IMO. More IS better. Especially pushing triple 21:9. So many pixels.
FWIW
You are right, but there are a few other things I needed to consider. I only have a Z97 MB and a i5-4690K 3.5 GHz. I think I would bottleneck a 1080Ti. Heck, I'm probably going to bottle neck the 1080
I am hoping to build a new system in the first 1/4 of 2018, maybe there will be the newer Nvidia cards available at that time.
So I just wanted to see if I could improve VR performance on my current system with out spending too much money.
