Pros: Cheap Reliable Quiet Performance

Cons: Drivers may be no longer updated

Overall Review: For less than a 100 spot with 8gb of ddr5 ram, this thing rocks. I updated to the latest AMD driver no problem. It plays all the latest titles at 1080p high settings or better, without breaking a sweat really. Now I do have a case with 9 fans not including the 2 on this GPU, but it performs well nonetheless. It was brand new in sealed packaging and had a molex kit adapter as well. Uses 6 pin only for power, which is fine. Seems to be a smidgen better than my 570 nitro I had. 5 stars hands down. I've been pretty rough on it for a week solid with zero issues. I don't do 4k gaming but 4k YouTube and streaming is a non issue. No it's not the most current 8gb card, but it's solid for sure! Still holds it's own in 2024. The only con is that it will be outdated with newer game releases in the years to come because rumor has it that the 580 lost driver support this year. Oh well, still a great purchase IMHO

Pros: Looks good Memory Works Cost Effective

Cons: I tried to use on the Montech Air Max case but the hub and case ARGB wouldn't turn off with these hooked up. Kept cycling back on and glitching. I like to turn off ARGB at night sometimes but had to use a splitter on my MSI Z790 Motherboard ARGB Header. Kinda sucks having to use 2 different ARGB sources.

Overall Review: I wouldn't recommend if you're using alongside ARGB fans that are being controlled by a PC case header.

Pros: Price Performance Power efficiency Features

Cons: None whatsoever

Overall Review: Hands down the best price to performance card at the 250ish price range. The triple fans provide great cooling although this card doesn't really get hot at all, even at 1440p 98% usage in long sessions, rarely goes above 70c. No gaming or driver issues. Paired with a 12600kf and I'm definitely happy. Also LOVE the RGB off switch since I'm running it in a mesh case

Pros: Price to performance Aesthetics Power Consumption 12GB of VRram No Sag Decent 1440p Performance

Cons: Unstable Tuning May not pair with older CPUs Logo display is way too bright

Overall Review: I knew going into this that I'd have some lowered expectations, but honestly this little GPU isn't as bad as some make out. No, it's not an Nvidia or an AMD chip set and you can't really over clock it easily, but it does run decent at stock settings with only needing one 8 pin connection. It looks way more expensive than the price but is still lightweight enough to not sag. I haven't had any real issues with games or driver updates. I have this paired with a Ryzen 7 5700 and a 750W power supply. I took a star off due to the over bright Intel logo and the fact that over clocking doesn't work for me. Other than that, this is a solid GPU if you have a decent CPU.

Pros: Wifi 6 BT 5.3 Windows 10 Compatible USB Price

Cons: Not exactly plug and play, had to manually install and it shows up as cd rom instead of usb

Overall Review: My budget itx board doesn't have wifi nor does it have an available PCIe slot, so this is exactly what I needed for my little travel itx system. For about $15 you get wifi 6 and BT. Both show up quickly on install and I get a pretty good signal considering I'm on a USB WiFi adapter. About 300Mps on a 600Mps connection. Also in a very remote room far from the router. Not too shabby! Glad I bought 2. May buy more. Impressive so far and comes in handy!

Pros: Price to performance

Cons: None

Overall Review: I also have a 5700X3D, a 3600 and a 5700G in other builds. I paired this with an RX 5700XT and a cheap B550 SOYO board. This is going to be my garage gaming pc setup with a 1080p projector for a monitor, just for casual gaming. The 5 5500 is a great budget option for either a new build or an upgrade on the amazing AM4 platform. I tested this on my Dell 1440p 165hz monitor with several games and was actually blown away that this cpu could do so much. It also draws very little power and a single fan tower is plenty to cool it down. This is a true gem for the price and will suit any 1080p system just fine. At least a 9/10 for price to performance. Just no real upgrade path from here but that's not my intention for my build.
