Old Radeons still handle Doom Eternal

Amazingly enough, My old Radeon R9-290 has still got legs, all these years later. Even the HD7950 isn't completely useless for gaming:

Nice. Carmack legacy?
But not good enough for my graphics card. :)

Tahiti always had legs on it. Kepler relied so much on software-level optimizations due to its awkward CUDA core setup and craved for memory bandwidth. It doesn't really come much to a shock that quickly fell behind GCN.
