I bought mine for playing BF3 at 1080p in 2011 and had it for about 5 years, until it kicked the bucket. The great thing about the gcn architecture cards is that they gained performance over the years, outclassing gpus they were initially inferior to.

you can usually use a much cheaper GPU if you just step away from ULTRA which often gives a 30% cut in performance for no visible fidelity loss and keep the same performance as the much more expensive card. when you begin going down to LOW it begins looking "worse" but games aren't always about "fancy bloated graphics" but more about "gameplay"

If someone asks: yes, this card is still worth it in 2021. I got mine for a little under $100 (~$50 cheaper than a 1050ti in my country) and it's a beast, there's a lot of room for overclocking (800mhz stock and you can go for around 1200mhz), so I can say it's the same or even better performance than a 1050ti. BUT, there is no directX 12 support, so some games will not run (ex: AC Valhalla).

I hate when people rate the r9 290 as one of the best and long lasting card from long lived 28nm era. The radeon 7970 was released almost 2 years prior to the r9 290 and still does a pretty acceptable job in 1080p. Yes the r9 290 is technically better, but it's also A LOT younger. Also it's even harder to find functioning r9 290 and r9 290xs at this point due to the power consumption and heat those bad boys put out.
