I tested $200-ish GPUs from Nvidia, AMD, and Intel—but no matter who wins, budget gamers lose (www.tomshardware.com)

Buy high end, but not top end, stick with it for many many years and you'll actually have good experience the entire time.

Opposed to low end cards that are terrible when you buy them and just gets worse in just a year or two.

Depends on what you define as "still works fine"

I have a GTX 580 and it still renders frames without crashing. But my GTX 1080 wasn't cutting it for what I was doing so I finally had to upgrade.

Fair, to each their own. For me, it is occasional gaming, mostly stuff that is a few years old and/or not from the big studios. Plus some light CAD, video editing and messing around with Cuda once a year or so. Still, unless you want to play the latest and greatest, or want to play in >1080p, it mostly just works while using about 100W with a mild overclock.
