I would give that title to the original HD 7970 or R9 280x.

 

Still runs every game out there at 60FPS or better with good settings at 1080P.

 

I decided to keep the 280x in my secondary PC with a Core i5 Ivy Bridge chip.

 

Your opinions?

 

 

Ryzen 3600 4.33ghz . CM Hyper 212 Turbo. MSI X470 Gaming Plus Max. Crucial Ballistix Sport LT 3200 @ 3200 CL 15 (OC). Powercolor RX 5700XT Red Dragon. FD Meshify S2. Crucial P1 M.2 1TB. Corsair Vengeance 650W 80+ Silver.

 

Core 2 Duo 3.4ghz . WenjuFeng cooler . ASUS P5G41C-M LX . Crucial 1066mhz 3GB DDR2 . Gainward Golden Sample HD 4850 . Coolermaster Elite 430 . Seagate 160GB IDE 7200RPM . BeQuiet System Power 9 400w 80+ Bronze

What do you define as "crazy?"

 

Because I think releasing GPUs that take as much power as a rice cooker or my entire home entertainment setup to be crazy.

GTX 480, R9 290X on uber?

 

Crazy, the 7970 even 8 years later can still game.

Tahiti, Bonaire, Cape Verde ... or GCN in general ... were all nice and still are under certain conditions, they're everything but crazy.

Everything but? it's the only time a GPU has ever lasted so long, not even the 8800GTX lasted like the 7970 has.
