This article needs a clearer title. I agree that upgrading from a 6000 or 3000 series card right now is almost completely pointless, and even going back another generation it's still not a great proposition. But I know people with "gaming PCs" rocking 1650s or even 1050s. Lots of folks with medium or low end several generations old hardware out there, for whom great upgrade options exist.

In March, I upgraded my video card from 1660 to 6750. I am really happy with how much better things look now, especially while gaming.

I finished school and want to start gaming again. My PC has a AMD 370 I bought back in 2015. Is that still a decent GPU to play games on today?

The 370 will struggle with most anything recent since it's only 2GB VRAM. The Radeon 6600 would be an excellent upgrade there.
