I'm trying to decide on the best monitor resolution to pair with my 5060 Ti 16GB graphics card. I've been watching YouTube benchmarks, and it seems like some intensive games, like Alan Wake 2 and Black Myth: Wukong, only manage 40-50 frames per second at 1440p on high settings with ray tracing enabled. I'm concerned about future-proofing my setup. Considering this, would you recommend sticking with 1080p instead?

Look, the 5060 Ti is a solid card for 1440p gaming... as long as you don't max out the graphics. For the best experience, DLSS can help boost your frame rates significantly, so it’s worth exploring that option.
Totally agree! Many players are managing 1440p with a 5060Ti. You just won't always be able to max out every setting, especially for demanding games. Just dial back the settings a bit, and you'll be able to hit decent frame rates.
If you're looking to play high-end games at 1440p with ray tracing on, you might want to consider upgrading to at least a 5070Ti for better longevity. But if you adjust settings wisely, the 5060 Ti can still handle 1440p for many games if you don't mind lowering some details or using upscaling.
Honestly, anyone saying the 5060 Ti is strictly for 1080p isn't seeing the full picture. You can comfortably run most titles at 1440p, hitting around 60 fps without ray tracing. Just pay attention to game optimization and tweak settings as needed.
While demanding games like Alan Wake 2 can be tricky, for less intensive titles and with settings turned down, 1440p is very achievable. I've been running 1440p on mine with decent frame rates; it just requires some adjustments.
