I still have a 27". My other 27" died... so I Am no longer running 2 x 27" monitors at 1920x1200.
This is a 10 year old monitor and it's going well. I'm looking to MAYBE size down on the next monitor. I Find the 27" real-estate to be a little too large for gaming - at times. Especially games like CSGO or PUBG. IE I have good peripheral vision... but I will miss minor movements and some things on the sides. I don't know if I'm tunnel visioned or what when playing those games. They are great for working though!
1280x1024 is pretty old school lol. I thought the 970 handled a lot more than that. I'm probably wrong. I get the using what you got thing though. I've been doing that... because I've built so many computers in a short time frame... I thought it was time to get more life out of everything.
