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.

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.
