Dell Internal Component Add-on

I'm by no means a techie and did some research beforehand but I'd like to say that this will work with a Dell Optiplex 7010 if you have the right slot to put it in. After watching a few YouTube videos I was able to insert the card which was very easy. now allows me to work with two monitors, which is exactly what I was looking for. I don't use it for gaming, just for work, and I highly recommend this card for that. Very easy to install and does exactly what I want!

Pros
  • Rugged Design
Cons
  • There are nuances

Extending the life of a 12 year old desktop computer

I had a power outage that took out the power, motherboard and graphics card in an old HP Pavilion Tower desktop computer. I considered taking it for recycling and moving on, but decided to give it a try and restore it, mainly because it had a lot of data and apps that I might need to access (or remove so I could use them for a new car could use). The tower's built-in video was not Windows 10 compatible, so I needed a basic feature card that was Win10 compatible and would drive HDMI monitors…

Pros
  • Easy install
Cons
  • I vaguely remember

Displays two monitors with the same HD resolution!

I have two identical ACER SB220Q monitors that can display HD resolution. I've been looking for a card that displays on both via HDMI but I don't want to spend 300 as I'm not a gamer and I don't need high refresh rates. I have a normal office and internet. I had an MSI based dual graphics card which didn't suit me very well as it didn't deliver the same resolution on both screens. It finally died after two years, showing only one monitor at a time. I received this card as a replacement and…

Obsolete!: Graphics Cards

One of the problems with buying PC parts and other tech gadgets on Revain is that many old items are listed under the new ones and the search engine doesn't help with the sorting. I bought this graphics card to improve the performance of my powerful but outdated desktop with integrated graphics. Most of the reviews seemed good and the price is good too. However, this was a serious downgrade. I'm not a big gamer, but this card can't even run older games like The Sims without horrible lag, even…

Pros
  • Great Price
Cons
  • Vulgarity

Decent budget graphics card with an annoying error

Required HDMI output for older Win7 desktop that only had integrated graphics with no HDMI output so I streamed video to Smart TV. The VisionTek AMD 5450/2GB is priced right for this non-gaming gamer, easy to install on the phone and update drivers from AMD website. The latest version available was a 2015 build. After completing all the installation steps, we restarted the rig and checked the video. Compatible with HP 22 inch. Widescreen and HDMI cables, ultra-clear, pixel-free streaming on…

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other options

Reliable card priced at

I installed this card in an AMD quad core computer with 32GB RAM and an ASUS motherboard with Fedora 30 Linux that only had integrated video. Video performance on this machine was terrible (on both Fedora and Kubuntu), when scrolling through websites with lots of text, let alone images or videos, the image shifts noticeably because (for the most part that's true) it's inline -Video normally is terrible as it usually uses system memory for videos. I could open a console window and see it redraw…

  • Good

Industry Wide Error

Error installing driver on my 11 year old Dell with Windows 7 64-bit I have already tried 2 other graphics cards as well as integrated graphics cards. I was starting to think that this might not be possible due to some internal hardware. I've lost count of the number of times I've opened the case and tried to install different drivers. I ended up dropping the Visiontek Radeon 5450 and ordering a PNY NVIDIA Geforce GT 730. I dropped them, downloaded the latest driver although they don't list the
