What video card do you play with and are you happy with it?
I was thinking about the graphics card I just retired and did some research, albeit not very much but hopefully the numbers are close.
- ~Jan 2012: AMD releases HD7950 and various manufacturers offer it for MSRP slightly below $500. I don't know what the actual street prices were.
- Sep 2013: I bought my HD7950 for $229
- Dec 2015: I retire my HD7950
IOW, I waited for the card to be 1.75 year old tech, then paid less than half price for it, with an average cost of slightly over $100 per year of use.
I think the card played Arma III OK. I adjusted the video settings too much to give a very accurate description of exactly how well, but I played with above average settings... I wouldn't have mistook Arma III for minecraft like a fellow player here... you know who I'm talking about

. The new card was more of a treat for myself than a necessity.
I think the HD7950 falls between Nvidia GTX 760 and 770.
