Nvidia's contemporary at the time and was the more expensive GTX 780. Look at where that's now at the bottom of the heap in most benchmarks (if it at all)! Basically you would have to look at the 9xx range to see anything go toe to toe with the old veteran, and those 9xx ranges are a generation newer!
Still in many benchmarks you'll see the 290X go toe to toe with a polaris 580!
Basically the card is like fine wine! it just gets better with age! It can hold it's own on 1440p as well! Amazing!
Hopefully the new 6800XT/6900XT can also last 7+ years! I'm likely to get that next as soon as a waterblock is out for it.
