Was the HD 5570 any good in it’s day?

Recently I have received a very lightly used HD 5570 that was basically collecting dust. I have since cleaned it and want to build a gaming computer from around the time I got into computer gaming (Early 2010) but never had the money to do. I didn’t get into parts and stuff until around 3-4 years ago so I don’t know if this was any good. 
 

I know this was made around the same time Windows 7 was released and I plan to use that OS. 
 

It is basically new in terms of usage because it was upgraded 1 month after it was purchased for what was basically the Titan equivalent in 2011.

It was a pretty low end card in its day. Probably like a 1030 equevelant of the day

Please don't do this

No it was a pretty crap card to play games on. Basically it was a 720p-900p low card that would get around 30-40fps. It's pretty crap.

If your CPU has integrated graphics then use the iGPU instead of that graphics card. The only benefit the card would give would be dedicated vram and more display outputs.

My first GPU was an HD 5670 (with a 6)

 

I remember loving it because it ran Skyrim at 720p in my old CRT monitor

 

Man, those were the days.
