I'm still using an RX 380 (mid-range in 2015), and I'm still able to get quite decent performance on modern games on my 1080p projector. The most recent titles are only in the 40-50 FPS range with settings turned up, but still totally playable. I'm not sure what practical benefit there is to the high-end cards outside of bragging rights.
