Very cheap card, enough to do usual work tasks (word, browsing etc.). Good as a temporary card if you don't have integrated graphics.

Good budget card, similar to 2007 cards.

This was a decent graphics card back in its day. Today, however, it's barely an excuse for a GPU - pretty much any modern game has to run on low graphics quality plus the lowest resolution. I couldn't play any game made 2010+ with full resolution, most of the time I had to use the 800*600 setting. You can run games from the late 90's fine though, I was able to play (the first) Half-Life with a great FPS. If you're looking for a budget graphics card, best to look over this one. I found a NVIDIA Quadro K620 on amazon for $100, way more worth the price than this piece of trash

ALL FAQs »

 Best User Rated
Why does UserBenchmark have a bad reputation on reddit?
Marketers operate thousands of reddit accounts. Our benchmarks expose their spiel so they attack our reputation.
Why don’t PC brands endorse UserBenchmark?
Brands make boatloads on flagships like the 4090 and 14900KS. We help users get similar real-world performance for less money.
Why don’t youtubers promote UserBenchmark?
We don't pay youtubers, so they don't praise us. Moreover, our data obstructs youtubers who promote overpriced or inferior products.
Why does UserBenchmark have negative trustpilot reviews?
The 200+ trustpilot reviews are mostly written by virgin marketing accounts. Real users don't give a monkey's about big brands.
Why is UserBenchmark the gold standard for users?
Instead of pursuing brands for sponsorship, we've spent 13 years publishing real-world data for users.
