Waaaaay too expensive for the price, could easily get something cheaper for the same performance.

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.
