I will take as gospel that beyond a certain point, higher-level cards seem to make no difference when playing EAW. That said, those using older cards in their legacy computers which were retained to play legacy games, like EAW and others, might find it to their advantage to upgrade their video cards above what they currently have. Perhaps the site mentioned might prove useful in that regard.
Many of us play other games besides EAW, and have found that newer cards are a considerable benefit, sometimes in unexpected instances.
For example, there are a great many games wherein having a more modern card is a benefit, and perhaps a requirement. Besides that, a considerable number of older games have benefitted from user-made mods and patches, just as EAW has benefitted from same, which add-ons also benefit from more capable video cards, regardless of what was formerly adequate for the original, un-modded game.
So, it is all a question of the needs and budget of the user. Hopefully, the site linked will provide useful info for those considering a graphics card update.
