This GPU is unbelievably cheap and has performance beyond my expectations, I got it for $12 and it runs minecraft 1.17 with realistic shaders and textures at 30 fps (modified minecraft bedrock from Opticraft)

Older Mid Range gaming card. Has Driver Support for Windows 10. Usable for office work and browsing. The card works great with games from it's era, but shouldn't be used for modern titles. You can find the card for around 10$ used.
