First (and most important) question - what monitor are you gaming on?

What is the resolution and refresh rate? If you don't know, what model is it exactly?

If you are yet to buy a monitor, what is the budget for the monitor?

depending on your price range the 2070 super in my opinion wouldnt be worth it as the radeon 5700 XT can in some cases out perform the 2070 super and is cheaper
