RE: Can Older Graphics Cards still perform in Modern Games?.. 3 GPU's and Benchmarks! - PC Tech - Part 17
Older cards tend to still perform quite well!
Until recently enough I was running an AMD 6670 (2GB) and it did work pretty well.
I eventually upgraded to an AMD 470, just before the Ethereum mining crazy killed prices, so I was really glad to get one at the recommended retail price, but even now the old card is used in a backup system and can still flex it's muscles in the majority of games I play.
yup. i was late when it came to buying a new card, it was in the middle of the ether boom, fortunately i was given the r9 by a friend which performed slightly better than the old 7950. although that card is long dead after some silly overclocking experiments and puffs of blue smoke made the room smell like failure.
