While many PC components are supposed to be interchangeable as long as the correct type/speed/spec/size etc are used, sometimes this is not the case. This is something that many people who build their own computers find out, sometimes the hard way. It's why I research not only the best components and price, but if those components all work well together.
The idea that the difference between 60hz gaming and 120hz+ gaming is so stark that 60hz gaming isn't worth it is fundamentally untrue. That's along the lines of saying 1080P gaming isn't worth it because 4K exists. 'Oh no, the images are slightly fuzzier! I better just give up and go play Solitaire'
I remember checking gaming benchmarks and the 6GB graphics version is indeed a decent amount faster than 4GB - enough to justify grabbing the 6GB one if you can. It was roughly the same price or just slightly more expensive when on sale in the past.

Not to mention there are mounds of reasons someone might want a dedicated GPU not even talking about gaming....and wait until someone tells you about external monitors.
i find 60hz to be unplayable on shooters and twitch games which is what i play most of the time. 60hz may be fine for you, but if i were buying a new laptop with a rtx card i would not consider one w a 60hz display...its almost inconceivable for someone who games like i do to build a desktop with an rtx card for gaming and get a 60hz monitor, so why buy a laptop setup that way.
And the laptop is still portable, just pull out the HDMI or USB C plug and...BAM you are portable again. Magic. I'd be happy to run down a tutorial of how that works if needed.
Or we could buy a 7" Amazon Ebook reader because why do we need a GPU at anything less than a 240hz and RTX 4090 so let's compare something entirely different for no logical reason. Maybe a 4 slice toaster? 60hz always makes me hungry for almost burnt bread

Seriously who is claiming to be hardcore gaming on a 15.6 screen with a crippled GPU then complaining he isn't getting the full "mOdErN ShOoTeR" experience on said 15" screen* while his video card is maxing out at less than 100 watts? Come on, is that really the stance we are talking. Do you also drag race a Ford Fiesta
And the market share for console to PC gamers....consoles win every year, and by a fat margin. As much as I hate a console that is the truth. Clearly some people don't die when playing Call of Duty 73 at only 60 frames per second.
Bye bye kiddo, enjoy not playing games on that "slimmer" i3 with 8gb of RAM...that will teach'm!
*I played Quake 1 back in the day on a bigger monitor.
