Review on πŸ’Ž Diamond Multimedia AMD Radeon HD 5450 1GB GDDR3 Video Graphics Card with Low Profile Enhanced Heatsink by Katie Bowers

Revainrating 1 out of 5

had to return it, heatsink height was too big to fit in one

I have a Dell 2k monitor and recently inherited an older Dell Inspiron 570 with Windows 10 Home. The highest resolution I can get from an integrated graphics card is HD (1080p) and I was looking for a budget graphics card that would give me 2k (2560 x 1440) video resolution. This card seemed to fit the bill, except when it came to installation. The card occupies more than 1 PCIe slot due to the height of the heatsink. The Dell PC has a limited number of PCIe slots to upgrade and I would rather keep my USB 3.0 PCIe and WiFi 6/Bluetooth 5.1 PCIe combo with 2k video resolution. I will have to look for another graphics card option.

Pros
  • Absolute legend
Cons
  • Almost everything is there
