    After testing I've determined this card will serve well for a spare gaming PC. If you're on a budget this will serve you well if you need to "go green" or want to have a cooler card with a lower power draw. If all you want is RAW GAMING POWER at a budget I'd recommend looking for a good deal on AMD RX 570/580

    After buying the Forza Motor 7 auto racing game for my desktop, I found that it required having a graphics card with a minimum of 4GB of video ram. So I purchased this one. Then found that it wasn't compatible with my PC. Had to return it. My rating reflex my expectations.

    It’s been awhile since I updated my PC. Roughly 8 years. I went from a GTX 480 on SLI x2 to this. So good boost in ability but a major savings on power consumption and driver support etc. Good card for someone dabbling into building their own PC

    I went online to purchase an upgrade to my computer. I explained that I have an OptiPlex 790 and wanted to know what would be a good upgrade and selected two video cards that I had some interest in. my question which I have a transcript of was would this product "MSI - GeForce GTX 1650" work in my computer and would this product "MSI - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050" also work in my computer. I was told that it would take a few minutes to determine if these products would work in my computer. I waited and when the agent came back I was told "both would work" But only the 1650 was available in the store. So I went into the store talked to the person on the floor about what I need and purchased the 1650. Came home and tried to install the card. it was too big. took it back then went online for the 1050. it came today and it did install but it doesn't work. unsure of what steps are next. On the box it said drivers were in the box... no drivers. Went online and downloaded. software said it would load because of the specification of the card, but when I checked it seemed that my computer met the specifications

    MSI does not seem to be able to make a sturdy product. However, it does render graphics within reason for this type of card.

    Decent card for the money

    A great bargain level card for a budget build. It can keep pace with most current games in normal settings, but don't expect stellar performance compared to cards in the $500 price range. I've been using MSI cards for decades and have had great luck with them, solid performance, good drivers. It's truly amazing how easy Windows 10 makes it to install everything compared to 15 years ago. My experience with Best Buy however...not so great. No wonder why online purchasing is kicking retail's back side. I got to the store at 10 am when they opened, maybe 15 people in the store, double that in employees, I had to ask three of them to get the card out of the lock case, two had no idea what a video card was, looked at me like I had a phallus growing from my forehead. The third who was able to unlock the case, kept trying to push me into buying the higher end card like the old skit from Super Troopers "It's just a few bucks more". I finally said to the kid, if he didn't get the card I wanted, I was going to put his face into the lock case. End of story, great card, horrible service from a company I can only hope goes belly up.

    Worked pretty horribly. GTX 770 outperformed it.

    You would've thought a card like this would blow through the 770. But no, it doesn't. I'm not sure if it's the power supply (500W EVGA), or maybe its defective. There's repeated game stuttering, and for around $200 this is pretty disappointing.
