This is neat. I'm not sure how many people are still using these GPUS.....but it's still neat.

Steam hardware survey page doesn't even list "Radeon HD" anywhere on it so probably less than 1% of the market. I think the (previous) post mining boom killed off a lot of those cards. Used RX 480 and 580s started flooding the market for cheap and performed the better for less money and power.
