I saw a lot of people getting a high-card but using it with a 1080p 60hz.

Are those people getting a high-end card (1070,1080) with a 1080p 60hz panel getting a great advantage while using a 1080p 60hz panel?

Well no as the monitor can only display 60hz at 1080p, which a 1060 can do at ultra. That being said they may be upgrading monitors in a few months

My Setup :P

A year ago it was considered overkill

Now it's barely making 60fps on the latest AAA titles

If you buy a powerful GPU now, it will last.

And if you decide you want a 1440p panel later down the road, you can just buy it without being afraid of the GPU being incapable.

Technically, they do gain something, rock solid 60fps while everything is on ultra with 16x MSAA and resolution scaling to 150%.... Additionally, they can run games at QHD or UHD and get amazing visual quality.... (with downsampling)

Depends on what you consider to be a "great advantage." I have a GTX 1070 and a 1080p 60 Hz monitor, and I can run games with SSAA or Nvidia DSR enabled and still hit a 60 FPS minimum most of the time. I can play The Witcher 3 with all settings enabled, including HairWorks, and at 65–70 FPS which is not outrageous at 60 Hz. I don't think I could do that, at least not to the same degree, with a GTX 1060.

 

It's also worth pointing out that we're testing the GTX 1070 using games designed for a market ruled by GTX 700's and GTX 900's. Of course it seems overpowered for them. I didn't buy my GTX 1070 to play games that are out now, I bought it to play games we don't even know the names of yet. There was a (short) time when the GTX 970 looked like a fairly good 1440p card, too.
