No not really. The 2080 and 2080 super are great for 1080p high fps gaming. If you want 1080 60 sure you can get by with weaker cards but you’ll have to lower graphics settings to do so.

Note: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670 and AMD Radeon HD 7950 are the minimum required cards to run Cold War and Modern Warfare….Supported Video Cards.

The best 1080p graphics card for Call of Duty: Warzone is Nvidia’s GTX 1650 Super. If you’re only gaming at 1080p and aren’t playing on a high refresh rate, the GTX 1650 Super is the best card to get the job done for the price.

The 2060 is a 1440p card, so mid tier. The basis usually stands like this. 4k cards – the 2080ti/2070ti/1080ti/1070ti are all classed as high end. 1440p cards – 2060/1060/980ti mid range cards.

Yes ,given that it will have the same if not better performance than the rtx 2080 ti as suspected. For 1080p its definetly OVERKILL , its waste of money , because it defeats the purpose of your gpu.

The RTX series are only advantageous at 1440p or 4K where the performance difference is noticeable compared to the 1080Ti. They are totally overkill for 1080p60 gaming and a GTX 1060 or 1070 will be more than enough for that purpose.

The recommended GPU for 1080p 60 Hz is a 2060 Super. So to get to 144 you’ll need a 2080 at least. So for old games, basically everything made before 2020, a 3070 is overkill likely at 1080p.

In the comparison 1080p vs 1440p, we can define that 1440p is better than 1080p as this resolution provides more screen surface workspace footprint, more sharpness accuracy in image definition, and larger screen real estate. A 32″ 1440p monitor has the same “sharpness” as a 24″ 1080p.

The RTX 3080 will surely be future proof, but you must understand that that does not mean 240 FPS in all your games for 7 years straight and that you will not always have access to the highest settings and latest eyecandy material, if that is what you are interested in.

While Nvidia’s flagship card was designed to push 4K, the $499 RTX 3070 is $200 less expensive and still promises big performance gains over the previous-generation RTX 2080 and even the RTX 2080 Ti. This combination of performance and price puts the RTX 3070 in the ideal sweet spot for 1440p gaming.

3080 def not overkill for 1440p. For esports only at 1440p, yes (or other non demanding games). Same as pluto above, my 1440p rig has a 3080 and multiple games I play dont saturate the 144 hz monitor. Some of them almost get down to 60 fps (AC valhalla) at times.

Oh yes it is. It’s even overkill for 1440p gaming in most case. Almost every CPU will bottleneck it at these resolutions. That card is built for 4k gaming, or 1440p at 144+ hz.

Best For 4K Gaming The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 is the GPU you should be opting for if you primarily want to game at 1440p. The lower $500 cost of the RTX 3070 also makes it a much easier buy for most people.

The 6800XT has 16GB which may be beneficial at higher resolution especially at 4k, but at 1440p 16GB is probably overkill for gaming only.

No, a RTX 3070 should handle 1440p 144hz just fine on Medium – High settings in almost every AAA games, A FreeSync monitor could really help you on of the games if you want to play 1440p 144hz with Ultra settings and can’t maintain 144 fps.
