We are at the end of the console cycle, which means games hardware requirements will plateau until the next gens are out. So from now, at 1080p, a 1070 is enough to handle everything at 60fps until then. That probably translates to a 2060 this generation - which is the card I'm really interested in.

Other than that Nvidia cards are severely restricted due to their lack of support for Adaptive Sync or HDMI 2.1 VRR.

Considering that 1070 is struggling already with some 2016 games[1], I find the claim that it would be able to handle everything until next console gen comes out (2020 earliest?) very dubious.

There is only one game on that list - GTAV - that performs below 60fps. And for that game, its trivial to lower a few settings and hit 60.
