dont remember but my samsung monitor is a cheapo type rm500 or below.
so, is my XL2720 relevant if lets say i wanna change my gpu to rtx 3070 in near future?
So I just checked some specs.
You have a 1080p monitor that can push 144HZ.
Assuming you have a 970 now, I'd say that you wouldnt get your worth by upgrading to a 3070.
The extra money for those cards isn't really worth it if you're gaming at 1080p.
A 2070S would be a better deal. Some would recommend a 5700XT for value.
If you're going to change your monitor to something like an LG 27GL850 that supports 1440p, then buying the newer cards when they come out would be a good idea.
Honestly, there isnt a problem to continue gaming at 1080p, especially if your monitor is still running fine.
A majority of gamers still play at 1080p according to Steam surveys.
Just because gaming is moving towards 4k doesnt mean that support for 1080p is gonna stop for the many people playing at that resolution.
I'd just stick with 1080p until they find out a way to support high frame rates (240HZ) for 1440p and 4k for AAA games, which is think will take another 5 years.
