I'm curious how GPUs compare across the ages from 2004-2017
-ATi Radeon X600 XT 128MB DDR PCI-E
-ATI Radeon 4870 512MB DDR3 PCI-E
-AMD Radeon 6850 1024MB DDR5 PCI-E
-AMD Radeon 7770 1024MB DDR5 PCI-E
-AMD Radeon RX570 4098MB DDR5 PCI-E

Very interesting, but so many GPUs missing between the X600XT and the 4870 I'll cover a bit better next time with some new purchases.

Testing hardware

Tests completed at 720P unless otherwise indicated.
