Basic and value-for-money card for those setting up refurb-ed 3rd and 4th gen Intel Core i CPU-based desktops, on par or better than 6th and 7th gen Intel Core iGPUs.
I use it to run 2009 yr. manuf. DELL monitors at max resolution for basic tasks, large number object rendering in MS PowerPoint/other non-CAD drawing tools, and Asphalt 9 (I consider this 'basic' 3D game).
Although based on HD 8570 gpu, this card (Radeon R5 240) performed better for above purposes and is also quieter than Radeon HD 8570. [Jan '20dharmakarma]
The GTX 1080 is Nvidia’s new flagship graphics card. It features the new 16 nm (down from 28 nm) Pascal architecture. This is the first die shrink since the release of the GTX 680 at which time the manufacturing process shrunk from 40 nm down to 28 nm. In terms of typical 3D gaming performance the 1080 is around 30% faster than the GTX 980 Ti and it manages to deliver the additional performance with a TDP of just 180 Watts which is 70 Watts less than the 980 Ti. The new Pascal architecture delivers a satisfying jump in performance over Maxwell and the GTX 1080 is now the fastest single GPU available. Over the coming months older generation cards will likely see significant price drops as the better value for money 1070, 1060 and 1050 cards slowly replace their predecessors. [May '16GPUPro]
