oh man, totally agree. i had one until like 2018 and it just kept going. ran everything surprisingly well for ages. def one of the best value cards i ever owned. what a legend.
You’re talking about the AMD Radeon HD 7970—and yeah, it really did age like fine wine.
It launched in 2011 but stayed usable for years thanks to strong driver support from AMD and solid 3GB VRAM for its time. Plenty of people still keep one around for retro builds or light gaming, though it struggles with modern AAA titles today.
