I think at that point you are getting dangerously close to the bad end of
the (for lack of a better term) bathtub curve*.  But, given the absurd
speed of graphics cards these days, it may not matter.  Do you have any
user reports to compare to?

* - Once you go down low enough, and you have to go down pretty low,
shipping and branding and packaging start becoming a major factor in
graphic card price, then for a pretty wide range you are mostly paying for
actual and assumed performance, then at the very high end you again are
mostly paying for branding and packaging.
