Minimum requirement to run any game full settings at 1080p@60

Discussion

Not sure if this has been addressed before, but I've been wondering, what is the minimum requirement specs needed to run any game full settings at 1080p@60. Right now I have GTX 970 with i5 6600k and 16GB RAM and I don't seem to have any problem running any game at 1080p@60. But is it possible to go less and get the same results? Since I want to buy for my brother a PC as well but he lacks budget.

An RX 580 should do it but if you’re willing to spend just a little bit more on a GTX 1660 it’s a huge upgrade as you’d be getting near GTX 1070 performance

  • Ryzen 2600, B450 mb, cheap 16gb ram, a 450 watt psu. Thats probably a pretty good budget build which will run all games FHD 60 ;)

Agreed. Just don’t cheap out on the PSU get one from a reputable brand like Corsair, EVGA, etc

1660 better choice for me, it cost a bit more but the tdp is too good

Depends on the game

On a non optimized game it's possible to only get 20fps with a rtx2080ti

What game is that? Even at 4k?

Never seen that bro. Not even at 4k, let alone 1080p.

ARK ran like absolute shit when it was first released. Barely 30 fps even on lower settings with beast pcs

The 970 is fine in 1080p with right settings but I pref a gtx1660 Card it is a amazing card for 1080p/60with rly low tdp of 120watt.

A GTX 970/RX 570 is pretty much as low as you can go for 1080p 60FPS at full settings.
