Yes. Currently I am running yesterdays build for both versions, as I mentioned in my original post.
Open blender and go to Help and Save system info. it’ll create a text file, see if it detects the card and what info has on the card.
Other than that I have no more ideas sorry.
Whats your exact driver version? (I mean number version)
You should have 430.86:
https://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/148037/
Have you downloaded it manually or is the one that comes with windows?
Do you have some other software that works in 3D apart from Blender?
Cheers!
Manual download and install of 430.86 on the driver. This computer currently ONLY has Blender, Firefox, and winrar installed. No additional software is on it.

It looks you have integrated graphics, Blender is not using your RTX.
Not sure how to go from here but just google how to make blender use the RTX card.
I think it’s a linux driver I thought you have windows.
I am fairly certain it can’t be using integrated graphics, as the motherboard does not have any! I do have windows, I should mention that to get 2.79 to run at all I had to download a file named opengl32.dll and drop it into the 2.79 folder. Blender 2.79 will not run at all without that file. It is probably that dll that is not correct for my system? Know where I can get the correct open gl dll for my system?
Googling how to get blender to use the RTX card does not give any answers other than Blender does not yet support the RTX functions of the NVIDIA card, just the basic CUDA functionss. Basically I get 7 or 8 results linking to thisforum post.)
Sadly, dropping the opengl32.dll into the Blender 2.8 folder does not get 2.8 to work, though it does change the error slightly:
The GPU might be integrated in your CPU and blender is using that for opengl draw.
And RTX for now is only for rendering with cuda and not for realtime raytracing.
Do you happen to have VMWare installed?
Because that driver is a mesa driver by VMWare, so proably VMWare messed up your drivers I’m afraid 
You can try uninstalling VMware completely and check if it solves your problem.
No VM ware that I am aware of. What would VM ware be used for?
What CPU do you have?
AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X 16-Core 3.40 GHz
Well there is clearly a VMware driver messing things up, that is from your information, so look for anything related to vmware, it’s used to create virtual machines, check in the “uninstall programs” window or something similar.
Besides having 2 portable versions of Blender on the computer, I initially installed 2.79b when I first got the computer up and running. I have uninstalled it now, but it has not affected the lag on the latest builds.
I have already tried swapping between the GPUs with no success.
It’s baffling, I would purge the nvidia driver and any other driver that might be installed. I have used Display Driver Uninstaller DDU, and reinstall the nvidia driver but install only the driver (custom install) not the other crap that the nvidia installs. Hopefully it fixes the problem.
I wonder in your pic the cards don’t show connected monitor.
One more thing delete the blender folder in the AppData/Roaming directory.

I have done that on a different computer before, I will do that now!
Note to others who are going to do this: Remove one of the GPU’s first, as the 2 cards tend to confuse safe mode, and it will never display again until you remove one card.
This, unfortunately did not work.
I am trying to get a particular plugin reinstalled after deleting the appdata folder, and I opened the system console window and found this error message:
Warning! Legacy WGL is unable to select between OpenGL versions.
As I am sure this probably plays into my issue, any ideas?
Did you remove this file that you added earlier ?
