  > you are agreeing with him. Not really. For 2560x1440 resolution you don't need so much VRAM (that's what makes Radeon 7 so expensive). So it is an overkill and not very practical for gaming. It's probably a really good 3D rendering card though. > I need every watt of performance out of 2080ti to approach achieve a consistent 180-240hz I think 144Hz is more than enough. More would be an overkill as well. And Vega 64 and upcoming Navi should handle 60-144 fps well at 2560x1440.

    I am happy that 60-144 fps is acceptable for you in the games that you play. However, your experience is far from an objective characterization of competitive gaming. 60 FPS spikes are called "cancer" in such circles.

      Spikes issue is not about > 144 fps really, it's about frame times uniformity. You can have no spikes at 60 fps as well, as long as your frame times are not wildly jumping around. And you can easily have them at high framerates, if something isn't right.

It's probably a really good 3D rendering card though. It's overkill, because most GPUs don't have anywhere near that amount of memory and performance, but if they did then games would use up all of it.

      Theoretically, anything could happen. But we are talking about existing options, and also how practical they are.
