Works well even in 2024, but I'm finally getting an upgrade. Just on some games you have to play on low

No longer more expensive than the rx 550 yet still gives you better performance despite its age.

I still have this, but it doesn't get much use. It hasn't aged very well. I wish I had bought an AMD Radeon HD 7970 instead of the GTX 680 back in the day.
