I can't believe this old R9 270X is still gaming!

This is the first AMD Radeon R9 270X I have ever had and I was surprised at how great it looked for a graphics card from 2013 but it’s performance hasn’t aged quite as well, although new games do "run" on it.

I bought a "Corsair" Gaming PC for £35 ($46)... but was it worth it?
