    Purchased as a gift for a family member who was having noise issues with their ~10 year old graphics card. Works quietly and allows them to browse the web and YouTube without issue, though I don't know how well it would handle anything more than light gaming. Easy to install since it only needed a single 6 pin PCIe connection, had it up and running in no time.

    I use an Nvdia GPU for scientific computing and I got this one for display only because it was in stock at my local store and relatively inexpensive. For what I use it for, it works like a charm and was easy to install. Can't attest to how well it will perform for gaming since I don't use it for that.

    He is 10 and installed it himself. He loves it! It was within his price range for his first gaming computer. I don’t know much about PC gaming but he said it 40 times faster and he will not leave the fame alone since he put in his graphics card lol.

    If you can get this under $80 then it's a good deal. It won't do anything different from the single fan version. I needed a powerful card for a small form factor build, so I ended up trading this for the PNY 4GB overclocked edition single fan that can do 1080P gaming a lot easier.

    Most of the NVIDIA cards these days require some additional work to get working with the various Linux distros. This Radeon works with Linux right out of the box. Fedora 31 to be exact. The plastic feels cheap to be fair, but that's to be expected for a card at this price point. It's also pretty quiet.

    This video card is a little bit dated, but that does not stop it from preforming. I played Final Fantasy Online, in 1080p, 40fps average. You are still able to slightly overclock and see a good performance boost. The RX560 and RX570 would be the better choice. I will keep this for a backup video card. If you are using Ryzen 2200G or Ryzen 3200g you will see a slight bump in quality and performance. I would recommended RX570 or higher to see a greater performance bump.

    I bought this card for an older PC expecting good, but not huge gaming performance. I already had a number of much better cards. But this RX550 worked just fine with the HD monitor I had on it and when tested with my 4K monitor it worked fine -- I didn't really game or test it, just ran a few videos to verify it would do 4K if needed. If steady, solid reasonablly good performance is what you need -- this is a good card to start with.

    Bought this so my son could play Fortnite on an older computer running an integrated A10 chip/graphics. Card worked and allowed the game to run just fine for his needs. Not going to run newer graphic intensive games, but did not require a PC makeover internally either.

    I needed a video card that would support 2 HDMI ports on a window 10 AMD 5 year old desktop. This card worked great using an display port to hdmi adapter cable for the display port jack. I'm able to get 1080p on both monitors

    This little card generates an excellent image on a Dell U3011 2560 x 1600 monitor without secondary power plugs. Very efficient, small footprint and overall high performance for this price point.

    not going to win a graphics card war with this thing but it may be much better card than what came with your OEM proprietary clunker. great for taking integrated loads off of CPU if you have a CPU that supports graphics. fans are very quiet as well

    It’s a decent gaming card, but can not run high fps games at any good settings. If you plan on being a gamer for a while, I suggest going for a better gpu. Trust me it’s worth the wait.

    My daughter needed something for her HP Elite mini tower for some of her gaming. This worked perfectly for her. No more lagging. Install was simple and had it up and going in 20 minutes including software update.
