    That all depends on your perception of “good value”. I don’t agree.

    The fact that they say “still” leads me to believe that they’re referring to, as compared historically. Which, I mean, “possible” if you’re a savvy buyer who comes across a not-savvy or otherwise-motivated seller (like a divorcé), but not really something you should expect at all.

      They suggest hardware that’s still sort of good value mostly because it’s overlooked. Intel really saves the day here with an affordable 10GB VRAM GPU. It reminds me of time when I had to buy GPUs like S3 Savage 4 (with S3TC!) because I couldn’t afford comparable Nvidia or ATi offerings. S3TC was so good it became a standard even S3 went tits up shortly after.
