    Purchased to replace a dead video card on an older Dell desktop (Inspiron 530). This card works well even on desktops with weaker power supplies. Was using an Nvidia card but it wouldn't boot up after a couple years use. Plugged this one in, installed the drivers, and it solved my boot problems. It won't be great for intense gaming, but if you use your computer for web-browser gaming, emails, etc., this works fantastic.

    A good improvement

    I bought this card to upgrade and replace a older Radeon 4550 1 GB card. After installation it took almost 8 minutes to install the software and the drivers, but patience endures, and it was worth the wait. It made a decent improvement in an old Dell Optiplex 740 tower that I picked up at a local flea market for $40. However I did upgrade the CPU from a 2.4 GHZ, and the ram up from 3 GB to 8 GB First. The new card brought my Windows Experience Index up from 4.8 to 5.7. Not bad. Good performance without any lag. The Dell runs more quiet now, as well. I'm not a big gamer so it suits my needs. The Dell Optiplex specs are: AMD AthlonX2 5600+ Socket AM2 running @ 2.9 GHZ, Foxconn OTT798 motherboard, 8 GB of total Ram, 2 Seagate 500GB IDE hard drives, 1 of them loaded with Windows 7 Pro 64 Bit. The second for large file storage. Only problem I have ran into is that I can't upgrade my hard drives to SSD. The Motherboard does not support AHCI for SSD's in the BIOS. It's ok..... no complaints here.

    I needed a replacement for my computer because I use 2 monitors. If you are looking for something simple like this, then this is the way to go. There is no physical fan, so there is no noise from it at all. My previous one the fan began to grind and the sound was distracting. This gets the job done in my opinion.

    This video card saved a computer from being recycled. I figured I would try and add this video card to see if it would bring it back to life and make it faster. It did both. Great product at a good price.

    My older HP desktop was going "blue screen" on me, I found out through reinstalling my windows 10 that the restall never finished.. The reason why is because the original graphics card was over heating and turning off screen and not letting me finish the install. This new card is better than the original and very easy to install and set up. More than I need for high res and speed.

    Upgraded 4 machines with this card

    I bought 4 of these cards. 2 went into home built computers with AMD Phenom II processors and on board ATI 3300 graphics. The cards were dropped into the PCI-e 2.0 slots and were recognized without any surprises. The included drivers worked, but I downloaded the newest versions from ATI. These machines dual boot either into Vista Ultimate 64 bit or Windows 10 Pro 64 bit. Big improvement in web surfing and video playback. The other 2 cards went into a Dell i3 and an HP i3. These both had Intel on board graphics, Windows Home 64 bit, and ZERO available power connections. That made it necessary to use cards that do not need a 6 or 8 pin power lead. The box the cards come in says they are PCI-e 3.0, as are the 2 i3 machines. Again, they worked fine after installation. Also, I now can run my 32" monitor on the HDMI connection while using my 27" monitor on the DVI.

    Good replacement for unsupported ATI Video card

    Had a Dell PC with an ATI Radeon HD3450. A Windows 10 upgrade disabled the ATI driver and replaced it with a generic Microsoft Video Driver that does NOT support dual monitor support. ATI no longer has drivers for the ATI video card for Windows 10. Replaced the ATI card because I needed dual monitor support. This card installed without problem. Drivers were available for Windows 10 with dual monitor support. Since the pc is only used for office applications, this low cost video card was exactly what I needed.

    Actually this works really well for that older pc that everyone seems to have around the house that they never part with. For me, it’s a windows 7 pro hp desktop that I use as a OTA DVR. Works well for that purpose especially after installation of this graphics card. It really added to the otherwise anemic performance of a well worn computer. Funny this card has as much VRAM as my computer has RAM!

    I was re-tasking a PC and needed to connect a second monitor. This card was the right price for getting the second monitor connected for increased productivity without breaking-the-bank. Card inserted easily and the driver loaded from the CD easily. Perfect.

    Since i do not need a video card for high speed this card works well. Replaced a video card whose fan failed. One advantage of this one, it has no fan. installed easily and works my two monitors. At around $50 is a good buy.
