I mean he isn't wrong.

For me, 50-60 is mostly the limit but not going to lie that I've been doing testing both with my laptop at 2500x1600 and the 4080 SUPER rig at 4K, and if you've got a VRR display, and games that support it, you can still have a pretty good gaming experience at 40-50 FPS with max IQ native settings. I still prefer 70-90, or more, but have been pleasantly surprised at these other results. However, the rig has to be able to keep frame times/prep as fast as possible to keep it all as smooth as possible.

Fair enough I suppose, but its always disappointing when game developers target 30FPS. 60FPS+ provides a much better gaming experience.
