Well, I have a 1080. And I had a 1080p monitor for a little bit (before upgrading to 3440x1440). And even that drops to below 60 (optimization issues aside) in GTA 5, tomb raider, and ark. Theres no graphics card that can stay above 60 at all times in every game. If you can afford the 1080, go for it, its a helluva card. Dont think of the numbers as a strict necessity, enjoy the games
