Great way to update an older computer {Updated}
I bought this card to free up some RAM from my on-board video card and to improve the graphics performance of an older media PC, and I couldn't be happier with the choice.
I chose the fanless version because I have a large case with great airflow. Installation was a snap.
Video playback has improved as well as the meager gaming I do on this PC (mostly old titles like Half-Life, Starcraft, MAME and other emulators). I wouldn't know if this would rock on new high demand 3D games, but I doubt it. This is a huge step up from on-board, but it's not going to get you playing Fallout 4 on max settings.
If you are looking for a cost effective upgrade, this may be the perfect choice for you, it was for me.
Update: After 1 month the card caught fire last night. So, I really hope MSI handles the warranty correctly, and timely.
