You are assuming that image quality has not improved at all in the last
seven years, but it has.  Entry level graphics cards these days are cheap,
and even the cheapest that nVidia and ATi offer far superior image quality
than any but the most expensive cards of seven years ago.  Also, features
like Antialiasing etc that cards can do in hardware these days, have to be
passed off to the CPU on those older cards.

The OP said they use graphics software, and buying a new LCD display. 
That I would think is good justification to get a graphics card that is a
bit more up to date.
