Can i not game on 60hz?

[DeathstrokeGG]

I want to make a decision between GTX 1660 Super and RTX 2060 . I have a weak system, one with i5 7400 :(. I am gonna get a BX500 240 GB ssd for the os and 2 8gb ddr4 ram sticks along with a corsair spec 05, and a corsair cx 650m or 550 depending on the gpu .... I asked a question earlier where people replied that your 60 hz monitor aint gonna cut it ......I am gonna game and need 60 + fps on all games except cpu intensive games on which a solid 30 will be fine, i am not gonna use ray tracing at all so take that in mind.....Should i really drop my wish of gaming as i am maxing out on budget with all these components or can i game ?

60hz is just fine. You can have FPS over that no issues, but you could potentially have screen tearing. Your screen wont be able to technically display anything above the 60, but it wont hurt you and your gaming experience. Sure higher refresh rate is smoother both visually and experience, but 60 is still fine.

Okk thanks a lot, so you mean no 60 + fps ?

you can have more than 60 fps, but your monitor wont be able to display them so they just basically get dropped.

You can never say "in all games" and your cpu is fine. 60htz is your preference, more fps will offer a better experience, but that is up to you. I think if the price is right in your region, a 2060s is better option for the longevity of the system. It is just a newer and more capable GPU.

Some games need more GPU and some less. Just decide what you wanna play, and then ask again. You will play all ps4 games at high graphics

no, it will be uncapped, but your monitor, can only display 60 FPS, so even if you have say 150 fps, it can only display 60 per second, but again you wont feel or see the difference in terms of experience and visual experience instead of potentially some screen tearing.

I have recently used Rivatuner to cap a misbehaving game to 60FPS. Not had to use it since the Helicopter mission near the end in GTA IV, it was a port from the console and you needed to cap the FPS to 30 for that mission to hit the button at the right time (unless you got very lucky).
