I agree, a newer card with similar performance to the older card will normally run cooler, quieter and using less power plus there may be some new features the newer cards support.

im not a gamer so play a few command and conquer style games that arent taxing on the computer.
i upgraded from a hd4870 to a hd78** (cant remember the exact). it's been really good with the resources, it's slightly better but it makes a lot less noise and uses less energy.
the newer one is a more powerful card so used more power at peak but idles a lot better.
hd4870 was a dog and idle was very high. on post it would make a monsterous fan noise, ridiculously loud.0
