Hello together,
so I'm planning on buying a new graphics card together with a new monitor. Currently im running on a GTX 970 with a 24" Full-HD 60Hz display.
My plan was to go for a Radeon RX 5700 XT (Sapphire Pulse or Powercolour Red Devil) and together with that, get a new display. For the display, I wanted to buy a 27", 1440p, 144Hz display (MSI Optix MAG271CQR), so I can also enjoy WQHD.
Now the consensus in the Internet seems to be, that the RX 5700 XT is sufficient to run on 1440p with decent frame-rates. I checked a lot of benchmarks and it seems, depending on the game you get between 50 (e.g. Anno 1800, Tomb Raider) to 100 (e.g. Far Cry, Battlefield V) FPS. Actually a lot of the results of newer AAA games vary around the magic 60 FPS mark.
Now I'm not a FPS junky, but I need at least constant 50 (rather 60) FPS, to enjoy my games.
So I feel like that today's games can run in the mentioned setup (5700XT, 1440p) - however if I see that already a lot of games run with a maximum of 60FPS I get a little bit afraid, that I may need to upgrade my graphics card very soon.
I know that there are always more powerful graphics cards, but actually I don't want to spend more than 450€ on this, so a RTX 2080 is unfortunately not an option.
So, what is your take on this? How future-proof do you think the RX 5700 XT is? My expectancy is, that I should be fine at least for the next 2-3 years (playing on 1440p, High Details, >50FPS).
