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. |
Truth be told, I haven't tested 1440p on that many games. But I was playing Gears 5 the other day and it runs great in 1440p. We will have to see if a 2070 will still be a capable 1440p card in 2022. It all depends on how these next gen consoles will perform (they are saying 2080RTX level but 2060RTX sounds more realistic) and what resolution next gen games will be aiming for. I think that will be 1080p for the more demanding games and 4k for the cross platform titles. But if these consoles push their gpu to its limits to run smoothly in 1080p, we will probably need a 2080GTX or higher to play them in 1440p, let alone native 4k.
