Great GPU for pre-built desktop that was previously using CPU integrated graphics, a big step up. No power supply upgrade needed as it uses PCIe power (gen 3). However my only complaint also stems from this, because the display can sometimes cut out for 1 second when switching into fullscreen gaming, but this is a very minor issue and may not actually be caused by power delivery. This GPU compares to the 7th generation of gaming such as PlayStation 3. This is the DDR4 version, there is also a DDR5 version on the market but that has a larger profile due to the upgraded heat sync. So if you're looking for a true one slot profile through the entire length of the card, this DDR4 is the one you want. I do not recommend trying this card for high loads, even with low settings. It's quiet, effective, and economical.

This GPU was surprisingly tough for all its disadvantages. During the GPU price/stock debacle of 2022, I had very few choices. I picked up one of these to get an old PC running and was surprised that it managed 40-50 frames at 1080p on a relatively low overclock. I have since replaced it, but I kept it for "emergency" situations. While I consider what I paid to be entirely too much, that was simply the market at the time. Would be a great budget build card for a simple/older title purpose build or refurb.
