They were awful compared to newer models, but for the price of nothing, pretty good deal.

If no good use is found for high-end GPUs, secondhand models will be like AOL CDs.

Sure, eventually. Then in 2032, you can enjoy the raster performance that slightly-affluent people in 2025 had for years.

By your logic people should be snatching up the 900 and 1000-series cards by the truckload if the demand was so huge. But a GTX 980 is like $60 these days, and honestly not very competitive in many departments. Neither it nor the 1000-series have driver support nowadays, so most users will reach for a more recent card.
