GPU upgrade

My bad I should have said, atm I play at 1440 and it seems to handle it just fine, but at lower settings , just wondering how far I could go with it, I was going to build a new one but thought I’d see how far I could upgrade this one first , mainly play destiny 2, Diablo and COD , if that’s any help
There's no limit to how far, your CPU can handle a 4090 if you have 2K down the sofa, but for 1440p I'd consider a 7900 XT like this:
Sapphire Radeon RX 7900 XT Pulse 20GB GDDR6 PCI-Express Graphics Card

Assuming you don't need an nvidia card for some reason (like cuda).
Ah okay that’s great to know, no ties to nvidia , been reading a lot about the 7900 xt and the xtx , I was just worried about the cpu holding back the graphics cardThere's no limit to how far, your CPU can handle a 4090 if you have 2K down the sofa, but for 1440p I'd consider a 7900 XT like this:

Nah, buy what you want / can afford, but the 7900 XT @ 700ish is what I'd consider the best value high-end card for 1440p.
Good advice from @Tetras as always. Unless ray tracing is critically important to you. 7900XT is a good card!
Ok thanks for the advice guys, it’s a prebuilt I bought, and it’s got 16gb ddr4, can’t remember the frequency but it’s low, I’m assuming if I upgrade that to 32gb and something like 3600 that will make a big difference as well? Sorry for all the questions , I’m new to the pc world
Take some pictures from CPU-Z of the motherboard, memory and spd tabs.
You sure? I find that very unlikely.
That’s off the top of my head but I remember it started with 21 and a quick scan online and that’s what I found
It's not uncommon for memory to identify as 2133, but not actually be 2133. We'll see when you open CPU-Z.
Ah ok, I saw that in system settings on the pc if that makes a difference but I will check cpu-z when I get chance later
I got the pics, just not sure how to upload them

So, your memory is running at 2133, but it's actually rated for 3200 (via XMP @ 1.35v)
Is that just enabling xmp profile in bios?So, your memory is running at 2133, but it's actually rated for 3200 (via XMP @ 1.35v)
