I have a Sapphire Radeon RX 6600 8G Pulse card and three Asus 24" VG2148Q monitors. I'm thinking about switching the centre monitor to a 27" 4K display similar to a Gigabyte M27UP. I want to know if my graphics cards will handle this change or if it's better to keep a lower spec 27" 1440p upgrade.

It varies based on your goals. It runs esports games in 4K at low settings, though not the latest updates. It's a 1080p graphics card.

It struggles when using 4K resolution with an RX 6600.

Would my card be able to power a 1440p display? The only game I'm currently playing is Stalker 2, while the others include Crysis 3, Far Cry 5, Deus X (mankind divided), and Fallout 4.

It's worth noting that 1080p gaming appears crystal clear on a 4k display without any scaling issues, unlike with a 1440p setup, since the aspect ratio is exactly double. The RX 6600 can handle 8k resolution per monitor, allowing you to switch to a different resolution center monitor for everyday desktop tasks. However, I'd find it frustrating not being able to move windows between monitors without parts getting cut off.

I am playing Stalker 2 smoothly with my present configuration, using just one monitor. After reviewing responses and researching online and on YouTube, I realized that reaching a 27" display would require at least 1440p resolution, which would cost around £700 for the monitor and graphics card to maintain performance. Thus, I will remain with my current setup. Thanks for your assistance.
