Works great for what I use it for.11/22/2016 9:01:31 AM
Pros: Quiet - no fan. No heat problems so far.
Great price without a rebate hassle.
It seems like some video cards can be a pain to get working correctly. I had no issues at all with this.
Used to run dual monitors with DVI and HDMI with no problems.
Cons: None so far.
Overall Review: I don't do gaming, just needed a card capable of HD video and video/graphics editing. This card does the job at a good price.
Silent, fairly cool and nice picture7/5/2015 7:49:01 PM
Pros: I have 4 computers running through one 4-port, dual monitor KVM. To help with standardization, I am using one of these cards in each of the 4 computers. The cards are doing a fine job, run at about 40°C and are dead silent, as are the computers they serve. I do not perform any graphics-intensive work, and the images are very good.
Does not support 4K even though it says it does4/3/2017 9:44:41 AM
Pros: It works up to 1920, but not higher
Cons: This card is advertised as supporting 4K, but it doesn't support anything above 1920. Someone else logged the same problem, and MSI responded saying that there was nothing wrong with the card. We are going to call and email them to see if they can sort this, so we'll see whether they can help and will update accordingly.
Otherwise avoid this card if you are looking for 4K.

Great Little $24 card for a mini ITX mobile build... Can Play Xcom 2/ Long War 2 with Tons of add ons. 30 fps3/29/2017 6:59:18 PM
Pros: Price
Full Screen gaming is so old school /I like multi windows open while gaming in window with CPU z and Hardware monitoring tools displayed at same time. Cant stand the flicker from full screen to Desktop or vice versa
If you can get over full screen gaming you can have good gamin experience with lower settings..
Windowed gaming 720p or lower and can have a good gaming experience with the right tweaked settings.
low power itx is running in a car
Cons: none
Overall Review: Would Buy again I have crossfire and high end video cards but wanted something that drew low power for desktop mini itx gaming in a car... Amazing....

Card Advertisement is a Lie3/28/2016 12:38:15 PM
Pros: Unknown
Cons: I bought this card thinking it was built with (G)DDR memory. It clearly states all over the box that the memory is DDR...Not the same. I am, quite frankly, surprised that NewEgg didn't know this or was wrongly advertised or called it GDDR on purpose to sell the cards hoping no one would notice. Either way, I now will have to go thru RMA process to get another card with GDDR
Overall Review: If you are buying this card for GDDR...don't waste you time

Really Good GPU For The Price12/27/2014 6:41:23 PM
Pros: I just got this today and it has much more power then I needed. I have tried playing some games on this and it is just like my gtx 760. I can visually see no difference between them even on high settings.
Cons: The only thing I do not like about this is that there is no fan on it to keep it cool but the heat sink does a lot on this one.
Pros: Great little card and great price. Does just fine for HDMI movies and surround sound.
Cons: None
Overall Review: Not a hotrod but does the job
