Think the 2060 would run that at 1440?

It will run it, but not if:
My quality target is "I turn on all the pretty for the game"
It's 3 year old card with only 6GB of VRAM. If you want good performance and settings at 1440p, you need to be looking at the cards everyone has suggested earlier.
Here's a benchmark wth a Ryzen 3600 (we don't know your CPU) and 16GB of RAM (we don't know what either) - but that's an appropriate set up for a 2060.

Poneros post #22 outlined the options perfectly really.
PS - Don't build a system with one game in mind.

You say you don't know, but it's a perfect guess!
Was thinking more that there was an option to buy the new screen first, hang out at 1440 on the 2060 until the next gen were released and re-assess. Less building for one game, more it's the most intensive thing I'm currently playing. Although varible refresh rates might give me some flexibility there - currently on vsynch (60) only.

Sounds good to me, if you're happy with 2060 right now, then get your 1440p monitor, and make a better informed decision when new cards are out.
Up until the 6500 XT, the marketing from AMD was very clear. The comparisons below are obviously cherry picked, but set up the tiers pretty well.
They then randomly decided the 6500 XT was a 1080p card with terrible specs
6600/6600XT = 1080p High/Ultra
6700XT = 1440p High/Ultra
6800 = Up to 2160p
6800XT/6900XT = 2160p High/Ultra
They then randomly decided the 6500 XT was a 1080p card with terrible specs
6600/6600XT = 1080p High/Ultra
6700XT = 1440p High/Ultra
6800 = Up to 2160p
6800XT/6900XT = 2160p High/Ultra

Its with Resizable Bar which does give AMD a bigger boost than Nvidia.
Why wouldn't you enable it?
I'm assuming you are talking about the cherry picking. The games nvidia perform well on are nowhere to be seen in the above charts. I don't really blame AMD for that, but now you are just trying to explain it away.
Cyperpunk 2077, Horizon Zero Dawn, Doom Eternal, Assassins Creed Valhalla. those games are here and the RTX 3060TI beats the 6600XT
But. Its difficult to tell as Tech Journalists ignore Resizable Bar and AMD get a bigger boost from it than Nvidia.

There are lots of other threads for you to go complain in more relevant (I think I've heard this about 10 times in various threads, probably from you who can't accept a differing viewpoint). This thread is about identifying graphics card tiers.
Actually this is the first time about them ignoring Resizable Bar, but yes it is one of many ways they are in part at least responsible with Nvidia's runaway pricing.
Real question is - is resize bar relevant to the AMD 3600? Since that's the machine that it'll go in.
Resizable Bar is supported on Ryzen 3000.
Oh. Fair enough. I remember it from the last launch, didn't realise they had made it available to me .. will look into applying. Not an official option for the 2060 though.
720p > 6500XT
1080p > 3050,3060,6600,6600XT
1440p > 3060ti,6700XT,3070/ti,6800
4K > 6800XT,3080/ti,6900XT,3090

Find my 3060ti to be an excellent 1080 res card.
That's exactly what I do still have loads of old games not even started playing yet on my massive Steam library game account sure saves money buying a new GPU every year.
Game at 1440P also use the Xbox S it's great value for gaming, have zero interest in 4K gaming expect on consoles.
I'm old been gaming from 1980's since the Atari 2600 so most games look good to be now, don't need ultra setting see no difference then high with my old eyes and PC gaming at 4K is just dumb waste of money.
Only have GTX1050i so long overdue for a upgrade looking at RTX3060Ti but the prices really suck so just waiting for the retailers to stop ripping gamers off, might wait for the RTX4000 series now and if pricing doesn't improve will just keep to console gaming and not upgrade my PC.

On the latest games targeting Ultra/60+ fps I find the 3070/3080/3090 and 6800/6800XT/6900XT to be 1440p cards. Hell Raytracing turns them into 1080p native or 1440p/DLSS cards 
3060ti/6700 and lower are fantastic for 1080. I don't find 4k to be viable yet unless you want to tinker and compromise on settings to hit good framerates.
