For all the people who want to make a cheap machine that can handle light gaming AVOID THIS CARD AT ALL COSTS! It is unusable nowadays, if you want an actually somewhat competent card at a low price range go for the GT 1030 or an older Radeon card.

Works great. It's a silent graphics card that does its job excellently. I recommend it. Of course, the nVidia GeForce GTX 745 graphics card it's much more stronger than this one.
