I don’t believe the GTX1080TI has the capability of ray tracing.
It will be able to run the game on ULTRA settings no problem. I have the same video card (ASUS GTX1080TI) and run everything on ULTRA on a 1440p monitor easily getting 100+ FPS consistently. The only downside is that it doesn’t have ray tracing as it wasn’t introduced in the NVIDIA line until their RTX2000 and RTX3000 series.
The GTX-class GPUs (10xx, 16xx) don’t come with hardware-accelerated raytracing using dedicated RT cores like RTX family GPUs do. However, DirectX supports a more CPU intensive ray tracing using the normal GPU cores but at lower performance.
Because it’s not a driver-native method (being based on DirectX), apparently Blizzard didn’t code their graphics subsystem to use it.
