If you've been using a 2007 card, you probably haven't been asking much of it. Wouldn't the cheapest card you could find be good enough?
Well maybe I will try asking some more of it now that it sits next to my desk instead of in the basement. Besides I tend to buy midrange and then run it forever. :) The rest of the machine is slightly newer, more like 12 years old at this point I think. Motherboard I think is 2012 (Asus Sabertooth X79, which was released late 2011), 32GB ram, i7-3960X CPU, 36TB of spinning disks (9 x 4TB WD Red Pro in RAID6) and a pair of 500GB Samsung 860 SSDs in RAID1. It was overkill when I built it, and it is still running well so at this point the price per year of use is actually quite reasonable. I think a midrange modern GPU is OK for it. -- Len Sorensen
