Just imagine how great it would be to upgrade your four-year-old graphics card. You would be able to play the latest games, purchase that 4K or ultra-wide monitor and if you?re really daring you can even immerse yourself into the world of Virtual Reality. New games are being released on a weekly basis and older video cards won't keep up. Most four-year-old video cards aren't even DirectX 12 capable which means they cannot take advantage of the less bloated API which would increase frame rates and enhance gameplay. That old 1080p monitor probably has some dead pixels or its response rate may not be the best this certainly has to hurt your overall gaming experience. It's unfortunate but that four-year-old video card won't be able to handle a new 4K monitor when gaming.
