Even RDR2 would crush it at 1080p if you tried to enable everything.

People tend to be extremely unrealistic about real world performance, I see it quite a bit. PC graphics are underestimated and console graphics are highly exaggerated. We see consoles doing 30 fps at 1080p (last gen) or 60 fps at 1440p (current gen) but forget that this is basically with "low" settings on a PC, with maybe some "medium". Higher AA, higher res textures, better post processing is all available to a PC gamer, and will bring a GPU to its knees if you try to enable everything. Even at 1080p... Consoles always make use of "free" upscaling too, so very often will run at resolutions lower than the display res.

So yeah "more than enough" maybe, but if you want smoothness + beyond console graphics, you will need more horsepower.
