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.

Fantastic upgrade for an aging Athlon II based SFF unit with Nvidia GeForce 6150SE nForce 430 graphics. Makes the entire computer work as it should rather than getting caught up on every tiny graphical detail. Overall, it's a must for any SFF PC to have one of these in it.

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.
