Observations from upgrading the ol' graphics card

So I've not been keeping up with the hardware for a couple of years, but am considering upgrading my video card. Currently have a GTX980 driving a 27" Asus monitor and was wondering what you more knowledgeable folks consider the next best step? Maybe a 1080?

TIA

While a 1080 is a nice upgrade, and is much better than a 980... IMHO, a 980 isn't old enough to warrant upgrading, as it's simply 1 generation behind.

This is entirely from a poor person perspective, who's still using a 2010 model graphics card because "it works". :p

What resolution and refresh rate is your monitor?
If it's 1080p/60hz you'll likely not notice a any difference.

Thanks, and I appreciate your perspective. :)

Resolution is 2560x1440 at 60Hz which is what I play ED at.
