a bit more of future proofing in the form of ray-tracing.
Eh, IMO that's not worth focusing on too much. I'd bet good money that by the time there are actually a significant number of games making use of the raytracing features Nvidia will have released a second generation of RTX cards with massively improved raytracing performance at a more affordable price, and it will take at least another generation before people without raytracing capable cards feel like they're missing out.
I'd still recommend an RTX series if OP was going to go out and buy a card today, but it sounds like they're a bit strapped for cash at the moment. The mining related inflation is dying out at this point. There are plenty of deals to be had on 1080ti's if you're willing to wait a bit.
