A 1060 can run anything at max settings in 1440p?

When you say "max settings" are you saying.... Max Settings* meaning Max but not with max AA or lighting... shadows on medium, particles on low?

That's 1080p ultra and the card isn't reaching 60fps (unlike the older 980TI which again... was designed to be high end) unless you're suggesting that your graphics card somehow renders 1440p faster than it does 1080p? I see some bench's for the 1060 at 1440 they're not pretty, but ... I think you have to know that right? you can't think that card can do something like metro exodus at 1440p/ultra?

2019

Metro Exodus

21 27.3

21-27fps

Switch would have a better cut at running the game if optimized right. But then Switch would know not to be trying to run the game 1440p/Ultra on hardware that wasn't designed for that.

Ouch, no need to insult my 1060. I know it's not great but it works good enough for me right now. Next gen, I'm sure I will get me a 2070GTX somewhere down the road.

I'm not insulting a card in the slightest, the 1060 is a perfect mid range card from the previous generation of cards, I'm just not going to let it float in the air that you claim you can game 1440p at ultra on the thing because in a while you'll be quoting that post as fact that was spoken and not called out as false.

It's just you talk about not wanting to spend extra on the GPU when you did buy it but will want to "buy a 2070 when it's $100 after the PS5 comes out" I'm really doubting that the 2070 would be reaching that region of price any time soon, a 970 second hand will still cost you over €100... €145 in the retailer which I use https://ie.webuy.com/product-detail?id=sgranvi970gtx4gba&categoryName=pci-express-graphics-cards&superCatName=computing&title=nvidia-geforce-gtx-970-4gb-gddr5 because of the fact that it was a higher end GPU and as such it has held its value far better than lower end cards would, a used 2070 now costs around £400 and that price is not going to drop to 25% in the next 2-3 years as the card is going to keep some of that value as it will be a capable 1440 card still in 2022.
