100% a budget card don't think otherwise. Facebook marketplace they're about 50-90 bucks, cheaper then a GT 1030 and perform better, smothers a gt 1010 which offers the same level of 3 outputs. Personally the XFX I grabbed is very good to OC. I managed to jump mine from the regular 20.4% to 26.5%. Not a substantial increase (think about going from crap to mud, same color different smell) but a bump of generally 10-15 frames on all my games. Was able to run Cyberpunk 2077 at the lowest settings and 720p windowed with 40 fps while OC. If you want a work station that doesn't do video stuff and only older gaming perfectly fine. Because at the end of the day while it may be a budget and a half card for gamers, this card is meant for workstations who don't do any video rendering or anything. 3 monitor outputs vs 2 on the gt 1030, twice the TDP of the gt 1030, however lower wattage is possible with a downclock, and I've never had stability issues at standard settings. It's reliable and perfect for someone who is watching the market all day or wants their stock investments on one screen while they do other things on the two other monitors. Any sort of gaming should really come second to it's utility outputs. Nobody would make the argument that a gt 1030 should be good at gaming or built for it, and this is the same case. ^{[May '21 ThatGuyRandomly]}

Hot on the heels of the release of the Radeon RX 580 and RX 570 launched earlier this week, AMD have released a new Polaris 12 GPU, the Radeon RX 550. It is a sub-$100 entry level GPU, targeted at those who want an inexpensive, low profile, low power and low performance component for mini desktop PCs or a minor upgrade on integrated GPUs. It has just 8 compute units, a boost clock of 1183 MHz and comes with either 2 or 4 Gb of GDDR5 memory capable of delivering up to 112 GB/s bandwidth. As expected from a discrete GPU, the RX 550 wipes the floor with Intel’s current best desktop iGPU (HD 630 (Kaby Lake). The RX 550 is expected to be around 70% as fast as the only $20 dearer RX 560 (the successor to the RX 460 to be released next month), however this should be sufficient for an okay gaming experience for many games on non-demanding settings. It is anticipated, that AMD will tailor the form of the 550 more towards the laptop market as the year progresses. ^{[Apr '17 GPUPro]}
