Ah the 9700 Pro…
I’ll always remember it because I could only afford the 9600 Pro lol.
Not that i cared. I freaking loved that PC.
Rx580
Radeon 9600XT
7970 is probably the gpu with longest life cycle from “can it run x” point of view.
I feel proud to have owned R9-280X (HD 7970). Imo, it (HD 7970) was the best card.
I would chosen the 4870 over the 5870. The 5870 just was continuation of the 4870, which really was the generation that pulled Radeon from the disaster that was the HD 2000/3000 series.
The HD3750 was fantastic, price to performance was excellent. The HD4870 was the return to high end performance. I was building and upgrading a lot of PC’s back then. Loved the AMD line up to the HD6000 line. It kind of fell off after that.
That was my thought, the HD4000 cards were a much bigger deal when they came out. The reasoning they have is weird too, they said the 4870 fell short because it didn’t beat the 280 but then talked about how the 5870 was great despite not beating the 480. They were both great cards but the 4870 marked a return to competitiveness for Radeon.
6800xt better than 290x?
I expect the 7800 xt to be on this list in a very very short period of time
- 6800XT FTW!
Feel incredibly lucky to have snatched one only 4 days after launch at £659
And for American folks out there… that’s including tax.
Where’s gcn’s last consumer breath big daddy vega??
Total bullshit imo.
7900xtx
9600xt, x1900xtx, hd4890, r9 290x, rx6900xt
I had a 9200, 9800pro, 1950pro, hd4850, 280x, now 6800XT
I’ve had a Rage, X1300 PCI (not PCI-E. Weird little card.), HD3450M, HD4850, HD5870M, R9 390 x2 in crossfire, Vega 56, 6700XT, and now 7900 XTX. I feel old.
Personally, all time means amd stop making gpus
The 7900xtx is a marvel of technology today
The midrange 6800xt still holds its own
290 was an amazing card as I did run bf4 with eyefinity and pushed 100fps with Mantle.
good days.I miss the days when a great card could cost below $500 and a good card below $200
