3200 ANSI lumen no less
Those 2000+ ANSI lumen ones back then were really expensive, and we sold to schools with (as always) limited budgets. 🙂
I rest my case.
If nothing else, we'll stand out as we're droppedFluro yellow gloves and ginger dreads as well?

It will run 4k with decent frame rates. Watched enough reviews.You mean ”Dream on“ with that old GPU.

My 6GB GTX1060 starts to struggle/stutter with many riders in game, and I’m running at 1440p. The GTX is about 80% faster than the 8 year old HD7970. So, good luck at 2160p!

It won't do 2160 maybe in Sli it may. 1440p will be fine. It is better than the current GTX670. I'm not putting a £350+ GPU in a cold garage just for Zwift. Sold the old GPU so it's cost me 20 Euros for decent performance gain.My 6GB GTX1060 starts to struggle/stutter with many riders in game, and I’m running at 1440p.

A second hand 6GB GTX 1060 is about £150 these days, 3 GB versions about £100, at least here in Denmark.
Once you go above 1080p, 3 GB just doesn’t cut it anymore.
Oh, and be sure your PSU can handle that power hog...

But for 20 Euro out lay it will be much better than what I've got now. There's no point just getting a great GPU without doing a whole new PC build. I can stretch at least another year out yet.

If the benchmarks are true, it is actually a bit slower than your 670, and uses 50% more power...
You said £50 in the original post, and it is now down to 20 Euro? At that price it is probably a bargain, and your power company will love you for it.

You're looking at the wrong benchmarks then. I can believe it uses more watts but it definitely gives more FPS in most games. The gains are there. Albeit in the cold light of day probably not worth the hassle. Should look a bit smoother though. I'll let you know.
