In January of 2021, this card still holds up at 1080p, with some games just needing textures dropped down a bit to accommodate the only 4GB of VRAM. However, it's a very hot running card that draws a lot of power relative to similarly performing modern cards. It remains an SFF builder collector's item, feels great to hold and is very satisfying to look at, as not many cards are built as special as this these days. Definitely going on my display shelf once I upgrade.

Still outperforming a 2 year old GTX 1650... Tuned with a better fan etc. it is still very nice in a small chassis, although it has only 4GB. However, it is currently impossible to get one anywhere... and you need to go for these overprized more recent GCs...

Notice the performance drop with the newest drivers. First they gimp fury on API level and block HBM overclocking. On last 2017 drivers I could oc core to 1120Mhz, and memory to 560Mhz on stock voltage stable. Now I can do 1080Mhz core which is 40mhz less, and the memory ( that you can only change by modifying bios, and even then some people say it's forcefully locked to 500Mhz anyway ) I haven't even checked HBM oc yet. Will do, probably will be stable on 545Mhz if I had to guess. If AMD is gimping older generation gpu on purpose and the performance will continue to drop without giving any official and logical explanation I will say goodbye to their gpu's. Not nice AMD, not nice at all.

A tiny beast for a little fire ants. Still sold at exorbitantly high prices for RX 580-like performance which makes this not worth buying.

Small and reasonably powerful even in 2020. If power consumption isn't an issue and you need a small card, picking it up for cheap on the used market is the way to go.

In 2017 I have seen this GPU much cheaper and how it works is simply awesome, better than gtx 1060 6gb in my opinion Works really well for almost every game!

Got it for 200€. Great card, tiny and powerful. Bought this instead of nVidia due to freesync and I regret nothing.

 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.
