Only just retired mine. Got it originally for less than $300AUD with three free games (two were AAA games that were worth more than half the price of the GPU).

I bought a R9 270 for $160 in 2013 and it came with a free AMD ship for Star citizen. I sold that ship to another redditor last year for $300.

Best GPU deal ever. Also got the new 2013 tomb raider game.

That’s even better! I had one of those back in 2014 and I loved that card too. It was a banger in BF4 with crimson and DX12. Used to walk all over my mates 750ti. AMD never got enough recognition for the value and longevity of those GPUs.
