This freaking out about 1080p and sub 60fps is complete nonsense.
When it comes to it, many PC graphics enthusiasts -me being one of them- have no trouble running games @30fps locked, or up to 60fps unlocked, if it means access to better visuals. We already have several games where consistent locked 1440p60 is impossible on a 1080Ti
@Max visuals.
You can't consistently run
Kingdom Come Deliverance at max settings @1440p60 even on a 1080Ti, for better consistency your only option is lock to 30, or bear the sub 60 performance. You should do the same in
Ark Survival Evolved if you run at Epic visuals. Same for
Gears Of War 4 with Insane Reflections and DoF, 1440p60 is attainable on a 1080Ti.
Quantum Break suffers the same fate too if you run it at Ultra with non-scaled resolution, 1440p60 is not really possible on a 1080Ti.
Final Fantasy 15,
Agents Of Mayhem and
Watch_Dogs 2 also can't maintain 1440p60
@Max settings and GameWorks effects. Mainly VXAO and HFTS or both together, they really put a toll on the fps, especially if you run them with TXAA.
Some people upgrade visuals at the cost of performance through mods as well, especially in games like Fallout 4, Skyrim, STALKER, GTA 4 and GTA 5. Some people run close to a 100 mod in Skyrim and Fallout 4 for a vastly superior visual experience, but performance @1440p will suffer greatly.
During this early period running 1440p@30 locked with RTX or 1440p unlocked up to 60fps is totally doable for these people, in Single Player games of course.
