Great card for it's age
This is an old graphics card but still very compelling in 2016 for budget gaming. If you can score one of these for less than $50 or so, it's an excellent entry-level component and should do just fine running modern games at 720p or with light settings at 1080p. This particular version with Sapphire's custom cooler is pretty effective- the fan has a -lot- of power when it gets up to full speed, if you don't mind the noise, so there's a good bit of thermal headroom when overclocking. The heatsink is only mounted to the GPU die, though, so the RAM is cooled by the fan without any contact with a heatsink or backplane. The heatsink has three fat, effective heatpipes, and the cooler design is mainly internal exhaust, though it does allow for some airflow out the rear. The card uses two 6-pin connectors for power, making it compatible with many older or lower wattage power supplies. If you play TF2, Half Life 2, DOTA, League of Legends, Minecraft, CS:GO, or similar games, you'll likely not need anything much more than this card and should have a good experience. All in all, this is a great card for budget or entry-level gaming, especially if you plan on playing older or less demanding titles, and it would also be plenty effective for use in a home or media PC.Verified purchase: Yes

AMD Radeon video card by Sapphire
Desktop Computer graphic video card, bought as replacement and do had to choose carefully. This one fit perfectly in my chassis, fan used the AMD app the previous card used, so didn't have to find another. Sapphire brand seems to be top quality so i am looking forward to another decade of use. Decade in computers? Well if you buy commercial grade they tend to resist obsolescence better than the rest. Radeon seems to be one of those. The feature I needed was HDMI to run my monitor. Tim AldermanVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Great price per performance
One of the best performing cards for the price. Only with that it had another gig of GDDR5 so I could bump up the resolution on the newer AAA titles.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Excellent Sidegrade
While this has the same amount of memory, and is even from the same generation as my previous video card, it performs noticeably better without getting bottlenecked by any of the other components in my system due technological limitations.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Довольно мощная видюха оказалась
Видюха мощная, потребляет нормально так у БП, кстати его я трижды подбирал, нужно не менее 500 ватт настоящих, карта имеет 2 штекера 6-пиновых, каждому из них требуется не менее 75 ватт. Доволен покупкой, тащит пока все игры что есть у меня))Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
