Unlock it to a HD6970 with a BIOS flash and you've gotten a decent deal. Should perform on par with a HD7850 which is in turn between the GT1030 and GTX1050.

used to have one of these.

They worked for me well. but the power consumption for what they are is terrible.

 

but hey! if it works it works.

If you're thinking about getting a second one OP for crossfire (I did this myself), I don't recommend it. The 6950/6970 in particular was very buggy with XFire. Had lots of strange issues and even sometimes bluescreen loops that were hard to fix and not to mention it didn't work that well in many games. That's the main thing that made me tired of those cards and I had moved to a single GTX 970 haha
