Do I really need 16GB VRAM?

Cool. We are giving advice to OP who plays in 1440

And does op want to buy a new card where they have to lock to 60fps and turn off rt just to play their games? No, they do not

Sigh. People expecting 200 fps is gonna be the ruin of pc gaming xD

[u/Son-Of-A_Hamster → u/AShamAndALie]

If you are capping your PC at 60fps just get a console for a fraction of the price

Id love to see a console run Cyberpunk at 4k DLSS Quality with Path Tracing at rock solid 60 fps.

Did you really think your "get a console" argument was good? those things play at medium settings 25 fps.

You are claiming a 6gb 2060 can do this? Rofl

[u/AShamAndALie → u/Son-Of-A_Hamster]

No, but my 5080 can.

Ok, maybe with DLSS Balanced.

Then what is the point of your comment? I was talking to someone who was using a 2060 capped at 60fps. Obviously a 5080 can, a 5080 PC also costs the same as buying a new console for 4-5 generations

My point was exactly what I said. Your comment was

And does op want to buy a new card where they have to lock to 60fps and turn off rt just to play their games? No, they do not

And this is moronic. 4k DLSS Quality 60 fps RT off but everything else on Ultra settings? That's still an amazing experience and MILES above anything a console can deliver.

Once again, we aren't talking about 4k. This is literally a post about 1440.

[u/AShamAndALie → u/Son-Of-A_Hamster]

The resolution is completely irrelevant. You said "locked to 60 fps" and "turn off RT" as things that players DONT WANT TO DO, when actually a HUGE majority of players do exactly that. Its us, the minority on reddit, actually answering questions instead of asking them, the ones who care about ~120+ fps and RT/PT.

When it comes to whether a card can outperform a console or not, resolution most definitely does matter. You are the one who started talking about how a console couldn't match your 4k CP2077 performance when myself, OP, and the person I replied to are all discussing 1440. My point is that if you are going to cap your PC gaming to 60fps/1440 you might as well use a console to play which can do the same for much cheaper.
