It's the card I used to upgrade my Dell Inspiron 560. It doesn't draw much power and Descent 2 looks and plays better than it ever has using the Descent 2 rebirth API.

It's a nice card to turn a prebuilt into a budget gaming build.

extremely overclocked with custom cooling to 1235mhz and 1350ram and working so great with some fragments but only sometimes. For that money such a great value! (15.5%) and 170 fps on cs go.

Old, but still manages to pull of some impressive framerates in some games. Nice for kids PCs that can be in the living room without making much noise.

Decent GPU for an extremely low price used, good to add to an older Core 2 era PC or similar.

Awesome cheap addition to an office build. Enough power for some light gaming. For $50 you can't get any better.
