Also side note, I wonder how Pixar's Fast Lighting Preview with NVIDIA Technology is coming on?

it will be more flexible though, no doubt about that. after all there's a full 3d package behind it. and perhaps this or that feature might look better or can be tuned to do so. given some experience with 3d apps in general in toolbag you can just jump in, no manual required. here - unless somebody manages to pre-package common materials and lighting settings - it's going to be quite the learning experience.
I have an nvidia GTX 960m on Windows (supports GL up to 4.5) and it still can't run Eevee well because there's Windows driver peculiarities that need to be addressed on the client side (within Blender), like the SSS shader, for example. It doesn't work.
Props to Toolbag for using Direct3D on Windows, allowing me to get superior results even with a simpler GPU (an onboard Intel HD Graphics 4600).
I think most Blender developers use Linux based systems,so what works for them might not work for others -- at least not until the dev. cycle comes to the stage of ironing out driver bugs.
In any case, if you have two GPUs in your system make sure to run Blender 2.8 with the best one so that Eevee can take advantage of it.
Hey thanks, atm I'm working with a 2012 self assembled entry level gaming rig...oh well I guess even more to think about.

Release dates and availability
Blender 2.80 is currently scheduled for a beta release in Q2 2018, although the date has slipped several times since the update was originally announced.
In his blog post, Roosendaal suggests that the beta is likely to come later rather than earlier – “lucky that [the] quarter lasts until July 1st” – with August’s Siggraph conference as a back-up target.
Non-Blender-2.80 features have their own individual schedules: you can find more details via the link below.

Bought a GTX 1080 ti, how would it handle real time? The same ?
But in terms of performance you should be fine.
Take Radial Array for example. In most tools you would just hit the Radial Array button, then define an offset and number of instances.
In Blender, if I remember correctly, you have to assign the Radial Array modifier, create an empty object, link the empty object inside the modifier, then use the empty object's position to define the offset.
As another example, last I knew symmetry did not exist; you have to cut the model in half exactly on the axis line, then assign a Mirror modifier to it. Temporary symmetry used for a particular task is just not an option, let alone topological symmetry.
It also develops at a snail's pace; they've been working on 2.8 for like 3 years now.
It is still lacking in terms of rigging tools and animation workflow (Maya is still the king for that).
Also, Maya has Muscle system, NCloth, Xgen and bunch of other plug-ins and add-ons often used in VFX.
Blender is definitely a must have tool for any game indie developper now. No arguing on that.
