Opinion on GPU: upgrade to 1080Ti or wait and see?

I currently have the GTX 1080 FTW from EVGA and they have a 90 day step up program. I'm thinking of stepping up to a 1080 Ti and it would cost 200. I have 9 more days to decide.
I only play in 1080P and get really good fps in the games I have which are Fortnite and Destiny 2 (could be more though in Destiny).
I have a 1080p freesync monitor that is 240Hz.
Should I just hold onto this card and see if the AMD Navi is worth while? I really want to use the freesync or should I upgrade and call it a day?

Wait and see what? If you aren't pumping out 1200 then get the 1080 Ti @ $200.
Now you will see DR with driver optimization in newer games. It is last gen. Drivers won't be priorotized.
Edt: Navi, never wait on hardware. Esp something 10months out.

If the Navi can be similar or better than the 1080 Ti.

Don't know what this means.

And that is what it will be and not at $200.

Deminishing Returns
As time goes on the next gen gets less attention. The return of your investment becomes less significant/impactful.

miscommunication.
Step up is what I paid for my GPU + difference between the cost of the cards. I would get 450 for my 1080 from EVGA and I add 200 to it to get a 1080Ti.
I would have to sell my 1080 to get money for the Navi.

Gotcha
Still not a bad price
My yhing is you should never wait on hardware if an upgrade is wanted or needed.
Esp on something 3 to 4 quarters out like Navi which will only compete slightly above Pascal.

At 1080p? Not worth the $200.
