I picked up a Radeon HD 3870 for $9.90 — seller had no idea what condition it was in, no tests, no returns. Cleaned it, repasted it, threw it in a Core 2 Duo rig and ran benchmarks on CoD4 and Crysis. The temps alone made me nervous. Full video here: https://youtu.be/WuTVt4ZCmoY Curious if anyone else has run old ATI hardware recently.

I've got a 5770 and for team green a GTS 450. I don't feel like testing them, too bad it's unlikely I could just transfer them without shipping (SW Michigan).

I don't really care about money, but I could use something AMD-Polaris-or-better because my 1050Ti is now on legacy drivers and I haven't updated because of that.
