Nvidia driver overhead problem on older ryzen cpus

Old news. But thanks.

I doubt it does much difference on a capable cpu like the 2700.
The higher the resolution and the better the cpu the less difference it makes.

That said, if you don't care about Ray Tracing, DLSS or streaming, you might get more value (fps/cost) with AMD, depending on how outrageous price you manage to get a gpu for of course.

But I wouldn't consider the nvidia overhead a problem with a 2700 for 1440p gaming no. It's really only if you pair a very cheap/old cpu with a very high end gpu.

Sure, but with your 2700, which we can say is equal to a 3600, it wont matter. Sure, you might get 180 fps instead of 220 in 1080p medium but that wont matter if you play on a 144hz screen. And also in 1440p the difference is much less, if any, and that was what you was using anyway right?

How long will you keep your new graphics card and how long will you keep your current cpu?
Those are two factors to consider.
It might even it self out i mean.

I wouldn't buy a 5700xt. Maybe consider AMDs new cards but either way you'll want to upgrade your CPU eventually if you're looking for above 100 fps to take full advantage of your monitor.

Yeah those tests are most likely without DLSS, hard to say how much the fps would increase with it enabled in a system that's CPU limited. DLSS boils down to fancy upscaling so you'd think enabling it would lead to an even greater CPU bottleneck if the game is rendering at lower resolution. I think(you might want to double check) the DLSS: Quality setting sets the rendering resolution to 1080p if the target resolution is 1440p so perhaps you could use the 1080p benchmarks to get an idea of what you might expect. Although you should probably keep in mind DLSS and raytracing do add a small amount of extra work for the CPU. So they aren't entirely handled by the GPU, I'd guess it won't affect performance much but just mentioning it so you're aware.
