But it is only useful for retro rigs now, with its 256 or 512MB of VRAM and driver support withdrawn over a decade ago.

    I missed the 7000 series. Went with 6600 GT when I was building a new PC in early 2005.

      Good news for you that we’re almost back at the 7000 series again. You can catch one this time around.
