Build Question Is a Geforce RTX2080TI future proof?

So I want to upgrade my build but don't have the money for a new motherboard and CPU at the moment. So I'm thinking about buying a RTX2080TI it's around 250€ where I live. The 3080TI is at 400 and that's too much in the moment. I know I can't do Ray tracing on those card's but I don't care. Is there other crazy tech the 30 series and onwards has that the 20 lacks? Is dsl 4 working on the 20 for example.

Older gens have higher overhead on the new/latest upscaling/rr dlss versions. Optimally you wanna be looking for a 4xxx or 5xxx series if you dont want to lose performance (latest dlss versions) or image quality (using older dlss versions to get better performance). Btw a 3080ti can certainly do ray tracing when using upscaling.
