with the 5700g already being at GTX 1050 performance, Zen4 having 2 RDNA3 CUs, and APUs with more RDNA3 CUs coming out i guess there s no more need for low end GPUs. Even a 13th gen Intel iGPU is probably better than this. The only need for these low end GPUs i see is in Server CPUs without iGPU. And there you probably want something super duper low endish for minimum power draw. ideally somehting that idles at less than 5 watts

When I bought this card, I bought it specifically just to stream HD video.

By the way, personally I would not really Want you to make a video highlighting the positives on this card. I wouldn't use it for gaming and very few people actually would so I don't know if it would be worth your trouble.

Neat, I like to revisit thrift store video cards from time to time, I have a box full from when I visited the FreeGeek Thrift Store. The problem with that particular card is that its using DDR3 for VRAM, normally DDR3 and DDR4 video cards are meant only as a display adapter. That being said theres many games from the early 2000s that should play on DDR3 so u could go over to the GOG website and pickup some of the classics, everybody shoud have a handful of classics in their library anyways for testing purposes. As a selling point many of those cards come with the traditional really old school VGA video outlet and the DVI video outlet, so if ur into old school monitors and projectors and tvs these cards are essential. For gaming you really need to go with DDR5 video cards, if you ever want to self educate yourself you can go to ebay, list video cards with 1GB DDR5, priced Low to High, then go to youtube and enter that card for gaming benchmarks so u can see for yourself the fps values and how bad does it stutter. From my experience the lowest of the low is the GT 730 DDR5 card, from there theres a bunch of HD GT GTX R5 R7 RX video cards that trade blows with each other as you go up the ladder, on the HD side the card thats a bit faster than the 730 is a card called the HD 7570 1GB DDR5. As for drivers there are modded driver communitys out there that are still working on making drivers for these older cards.
