RTX 5000 Series vs OLED Gaming Monitors: Where should you spend your upgrade budget first?

If you are currently on an RTX 3080 / 4070 with an IPS 1440p monitor, do NOT buy a new GPU yet. Buying a 240Hz QD-OLED monitor will transform every single game you own instantly due to infinite contrast and near-instant pixel response times. Thoughts?

Always OLED first! A 240Hz QD-OLED display improves every single frame your existing GPU produces. Perfect black levels and instantaneous 0.03ms pixel response times elevate games even running on an RTX 3070 more than a 5080 on a dull IPS panel.
