Is rtx 3070 overkill for 1440p?

Is RTX 3070/2080 Ti overkill for 1440p 144Hz? No, it's not overkill. I recently got my hands on an RTX 3060 Ti and let me tell ya, it handles every game except for RDR2 and Cyberpunk 2077 buttery smooth. That's if you have a strong enough CPU to balance the power and performance.

Is a rtx 3070 overkill?
Well the RTX 3070 will definitely average framerates (over various games) well over 144Hz so yeah it is a bit of an overkill but it depends on what price you can get it for. It's MSRP is $100 less than a RTX 2070 Super which averages just over 144FPS.

Is rtx 3070 overkill for laptop?
Is RTX 3070 overkill for 1080p 60hz? 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.

Can rtx 3070 run 1440p 165hz?
Even older cards like the RTX 3070 have enough power to deliver higher refresh than 165Hz. By going with a 144Hz or 165Hz display, you're turning your monitor into a bottleneck. As we said, the higher refresh available, the better. It certainly can't hurt!

How much fps does rtx 3070 run 1440p?
At 1440p the 3070 handles most of the good games at 1440p Ultra hitting well above 100fps. Only the usual suspects aren't able to make the grade like Flight Simulator and Metro Exodus. And it's important to note that the 3080 can't handle those games at that setting either.
