I've just upgraded my graphics card from an RTX 3060 to an RX 9070 XT, which I've heard is great for 1440p gaming. Currently, I have two 1080p monitors that are working well for me. I'm wondering if I should consider getting a 1440p monitor and potentially sell one of my current ones, or if that's overkill.

Absolutely, the RX 9070 XT is a solid choice for 1440p gaming! I switched from a 24-inch 1080p to a 27-inch 1440p screen, and the difference is huge—much sharper images and a better overall experience. Definitely worth considering!
Honestly, sticking with 1080p is kind of wasting the potential of your new GPU. I'd highly recommend a high refresh rate 1440p monitor. You'll notice a big difference not just in gaming but also in general desktop usage; more screen real estate and clarity are a game-changer!
Sure, you could upgrade if you want, but it's not necessary. You'll still get good FPS with your RX 9070 XT at 1080p for years. If you're okay with that, then stick with what you have for now!
Go for a 1440p, especially if you can afford it! If you're doing other tasks beyond gaming, upgrading both monitors to 27" 1440p screens can really enhance your productivity. Or consider a 34" ultrawide monitor for more screen space—that's a sweet spot for multitasking!
Both great options! I think ultrawides can change how you work and game.
