It entirely depends on what you're doing with the computer. Sure people won't notice a difference between a game running at 60 vs 70 fps, but that card is going to struggle with modern games. From a quick search it sounds like it will barely hit 60fps in Cyberpunk at min settings 1080p.

I'm sure your 10 year old card will have no problem playing 10 year old games. If that's all you play, then you're right, you don't need to spend any more.

An RX 7600 vs RX 480 could be the difference between something running at stuttering 25 fps and something running at smooth 60 fps. Or it could be the difference between running on min quality vs high settings, it all depends on the workload.
