Just finished putting together my new rig today.  First big upgrade in six years. 

I-9 9900k, EVGA RTX 2080 Ti, 32gb of Kingston HyperX, Corsair 850w PSU, 2tb SSD and 2tb WD Mechanical.

Yes, I'm bragging.   :D

Trying to figure out something ridiculous and good to put on it and try it out.  I have Arma 3 and IL2, I know they push some boundaries.   But I'm wondering what I can throw on this and really really swing for the fences. 

What games really give you guys a run for your money and are good?   I mean, you know me, I've got a ton.  Just trying to think of something new (outside Outer Worlds this week) that I can get that will cross my eyes and boggle my dongle.

I have an i9-9900k with a RTX 2070 Super on an 1080p monitor since late September and Arma 3 and IL2 run at 60 fps at ultra settings so you will have no issues. I have overclocked the processor to run all cores at 5 Ghz and that was done quite easily. As long as you have a very good cooler, that is. I am jealous of you RTX 2080 Ti.

The only game that I have encountered some frame rate issues is TW: Attila and the older Enemy Engaged 2 modded. But games like WOFF UE, IL2 Great Battles, Strike Fighters 2 and almost all TW games, I have the graphics cranked right up.

Don't be.  Its actually the part I got I felt was the most overkill.   Again, I was future proofing, but I think I'd have gone just as well with the RTX 2080 Super.   I was piecing out the parts and got the Ti a while a go and was using it in my old computer till I finished this one.   If the Super had been out I'd have gone with that one.
