Review on πŸ’» Enhanced VisionTek Radeon 5450 2GB DDR3 Graphics Card with DVI-I, HDMI, and VGA Ports - 900356 by Joe Lantz

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Curved Case Mount

Product is supplied in a sealed carton and sold/dispatched by Revain. In the box, the card was sealed in an anti-static bag. After I removed the graphics card, I found that the bracket on the card that attaches to the computer case was bent. The flex isn't what would happen if it bounced around in the box. That's how it must have left the factory. The top tab of the bracket that holds the screw to the chassis has been bent down. The top surface of the bracket, where the VGA connector is located, has been bent towards the board. There was also a bracket in the bracket on one side near the HDMI port. I had to use pliers to bend the metal bracket into a usable shape that would fit the computer. After installing Windows 10 on my desktop as a second video adapter for an hour, the card works as expected and the video quality on both DVI and HDMI is as expected. Had the card holder not been damaged I would have given this product a higher rating.
