We need more information than this.

What is too expensive? People have different budgets.

Do you want 1440p 60fps on average or 1440p 144fps?

Are you okay with medium settings?

[geoffery]

I would like to keep it on the cheaper side.

maybe $300-450 au?

dont mind what settings.

i will be playing fortnite and i started on a laptop at 1080p low settings.

Also maybe anywhere from 100 fps up

Would you be using Fortnite performance mode (LITE EZ FPS LOW DETAIL MODE?)

You could max out a 120Hz+ Monitor with ease in Fortnite Performance mode at 1080p/1440p with a GTX1650

Look at these chapters....with various details and modes...

 

Also what OTHER Games do you want to get into...? as the GTX1650 will be lacking smoothness outside of 1080p/1440p lower settings or lighter games.

 

Australian Dollars.. $399 ish or more for a 12GB RTX3060 l which I would get over the 8GB for sure...

You should be able to find a 12GB specific model, hopefully for the $399

 

12GB Version of the 3060.. with all the RTX suite support (RTX Voice/Broadcast/SuperRes/DLSS etc) you can use except Frame Generation which is does not support (albiet game modders are finding ways to integrate FrameGen on unsupported cards all the time)

Yeah its just being aware of what settings are on offer and what they can do for you... Im glad you watched the video and got the value information from it.

 

Its competitive FPS game so like me and many others, reducing details down for Higher fps iE a performance mode (Fortnite LiteGfx) is ideal for visibility and FPS.

At least in these shooter games.

Fortnite offering the performance mode saves you doing the research/testing yourself

 

Spoiler

Even if you only had a 1080p 120hz monitor, you can activate Nvidia DSR downscaling tech (it also keeps the refresh rate) 1080p at 4xDSR = 4K 120Hz and run performance mode at 4K likely still HighFPS (or use res scaling in game for more fps again for SHARPer visuals while maintaining Highfps / visibility.

 

GPUs offer many viable ways to play games once you are familiar with settings at your disposal.
