This card was put into an i5-2400 machine that had onboard video chips incompatible with Win 10 (no drivers). The card didn't help that problem, but it did provide a very inexpensive & up to date video card with dual monitor capability that does not have a fan and does not require additional power connections from the power supply! It took some load off the CPU too. I'm using a 47" flat screen 760p LED TV (VGA connected) as a monitor and the pictures are great; as good as Blu-ray. Sound goes through a Stereo system. I registered the card so have a limited lifetime warranty to boot. Not bad for $40 plus tax.

I purchased this card for $39 to pop in an older desktop with an AMD single core X64 chip running Windows 7 ultimate. One of my kids wanted to play some older PC games on our flat screen TV and this card has an HDMI connection. Very quiet and performed extremely well on Need for Speed, GFA, Medal of Honor, and many other games of that era. I would rate this card a can't miss for the money.

I bought this card to install into an older Dell Optiplex desktop because the on-board graphics wasn't cutting it. This card was very easy to install and easy to install the drivers. This card isn't a serious gamer card but it does allow my son to play Minecraft on medium settings without any issue. The card doesn't have a fan so there is no noise and no issues regarding the power supply. Before installing the card, the computer did not have the graphics performance to play Minecraft. Can't beat the card for the price.

I needed an HDMI out for a desktop, this card worked great. I cannot testify to it's graphics and gaming abilities, however at this price I wouldn't expect too much. I can say it has been a great little card since I installed it about 6 months ago, no issues during installation or failures.

Video card was easy to install and options of either standard tower or low profile were available with the same card and all hardware was included. Card installed and with the CD that was provided, installed drivers and working like a charm. Very satisfied with the product.

This little card is a good buy for the price. I used it to replace a burnt out video card in an older computer, so it was an upgrade. Smooth install and all is working.

I'm very happy with this new graphics card, my other one was incompatible with windows 10 so this was a very good upgrade from what I was using.

I bought this video card to bring my computer up to spec for Windows 10. It did just that and was well suited to fit the half-card height of the small form-factor computer case. Driver/software updates were easy but took up a lot of data. 9 gigs if I remember correctly.

My only comment is that this card was not the card that I came to buy. I had seen a somewhat better card online and looked for it. However, this card is more than adequate for my 11 year old computer.

I was looking for a graphics card to just get quickly for a small application I was using it for. For the price and convenience, this was a great buy. I am not running high def or gaming graphics with is but it streams computer spreadsheets just fine.

I had an old computer with data and a program that I couldn't be without. The video card died and I need something to work in the older machine. This card worded great. No install issues, plugged it in booted up and I'm happy again.

This is a good video card. I was trouble shooting a problem. After a bunch of research, I purchased a video card and a power supply. It turns out that it was the video card. I decided to keep this power supply instead of returning it. I purchased this video card for price and also because I am not a gamer. We use it for pictures and web. So far, this has been excellent. No issues from it

This is a great card for any non-gaming office/home computer that is looking for a dual monitor option. Windows 7 found the drivers through Windows Update and made setup quite easy (the drivers on the disk are never up to date anyway).

Needed to replace the graphics card in my HPXW6600 workstation, this was a great value and fit my needs. My workstation is for work, not gaming, not sure if 1Gb would satisfy any gamer, but this works great for my needs.

Does not work as a client for streaming games

This product is already marked as a legacy product by AMD and ATI. I don't like buying a brand new product and finding it's already been abandoned by the company. The problem I had with this card was a little unique. I attempted to add this card in a older computer to gain an HDMI port so I could stream games from my Xbox One and my high-end desktop using Steam. Xbox runs ok but could be better where I came into trouble was the hardware supported decoder for Steam. Runs like trash... Turn off Hardware decoder runs fine (test using lowest quality setting) turn on hardware decoder on lowest setting. Terrible. So, I am going to warn everyone else because I wasted $40. DO NOT! Buy this card with the intention of streaming games from a PC or Xbox go with an Nvidia card even if it cost you an extra $20 because it has Nvidia PureVideo HD Technology. I am a fan of Nvidia I tried to go cheap and got burned. It happens but also reminds me why I must stick with what I know works. Nvidia! I hope this helps someone else out there looking to get the same kind of setup going. Video playback is fine but the picture it produces does look like there is a tad blur to it.
