    An RX560 isn't even up to it nowdays. Barely better than CPU onboard graphics. This card is the dunts.

      I don’t know if dunts is good or bad?

      Unfortunately if you’ve brought an AMD Ryzen CPU, you’re unlikely to have onboard graphics (unless you got one of the G models).

    • Loopenip on 04/03/2021 - 21:44

      Just keep in mind that userbenchmark is better for comparing like products to see if yours is configured / running properly, since they're known to cook the books a bit

    • [Deactivated] on 05/03/2021 - 14:40

      im still using a 660ti
      would you say this one is much much better?

      No. Stick with a modrn iGPU…

        Heck just get a AMD Ryzen 3 3200G with Vega Graphics for $168 if you're building for medium spec and haven't brought your mobo or cpu yet, this will help you last the year of craziness and can skip the overpriced gpu investment entirely. Just remember to get ample ram like 16 gigs.

          Haha yeah I went with the same "16gb is plenty" and forgot an iGPU shares system memory! Playing a game essentially requires the full 16gb which leaves little/none for background things like a browser. If you're gaming on an iGPU (which is fine!) I'd go for 32gb (actually about 20gb of ram would be enough to be safe).

          (I had this problem with my laptop, and moved to an egpu just to offload the video memory!)

          • dbmitch on 04/03/2021 - 22:29

            @incipient: Basically, just dont have youtube playing on 3 different monitors while playing with 16gigs lol

  • djmm on 04/03/2021 - 19:45

    This is good for playing at 1080p on low to medium

    • dbmitch on 04/03/2021 - 20:23

      720p, take it or leave it :P

    • alpln on 05/03/2021 - 01:33

      depends on your desired framerate and type of a game

    Don't think it's a great price - launched at 100 USD 4 years ago

    • dyziplen on 04/03/2021 - 19:49

      There seem to be a price surge on the slot powered cards lately. GTX1650 are back up to the 300 mark.

      • Homr on 04/03/2021 - 19:53

        oh wow, luckily I bought one for $269 with $15 zip credit

      • Homr on 04/03/2021 - 19:58

        just checked, all 1650 low profile are either sold out or $300+

        • SamyKn on 04/03/2021 - 22:15

          I bought Gigabyte Low profile for 249$ , then dropped to 220 and suddenly back to 300$ !!!

          • Homr on 05/03/2021 - 06:33

            @SamyKn: sounds like the asx casino

  • dbmitch on 04/03/2021 - 20:15

    For $150, 10th gen intel cpu with the built in Intel HD would be better no?

    • scrimshaw on 04/03/2021 - 20:31

      You mean like Intel 630 UHD graphics?
      https://www.notebookcheck.net/Intel-UHD-Graphics-630-GPU-Ben….

      the iGPU found in a budget intel CPU would be absolutely crushed by any discrete GPU, even one as slow as the GT 1030 and RX 550.

      You can see some i5-10400 gameplay here but just from the first game that's tested (counter strike global offense) the GPU is struggling to maintain 60 FPS. The framerate is double that with a RX 550.

    • Mechz on 04/03/2021 - 20:38

      Don't want to upgrade my whole rig so this fits nice for 4K & x265.

      Love MightyApe, they always have the cheapest price on hidden products the main retailers dont sell.

    • Mechz on 04/03/2021 - 20:31

      Great find, I looked on there before going to Amazon and didn't see it at the time.

      Looks like 2gb not 4gb?

        You are correct :)

  • hongas on 04/03/2021 - 20:39

    Very noob with graphics card.

    I would like to know Is this any better than NVIDIA K5000? for Classic Mac Pro.

    • Merlict on 04/03/2021 - 20:54

      Eh, both are pretty weak.

      You'd really want to check a Mac forum / subreddit to make sure this has good drivers for old macs, compatibility can be bad.

  • [Deactivated] on 04/03/2021 - 21:47

    Not a bargain… not even recommended. Even a 1050 GTX comes out on top

    • Mechz on 04/03/2021 - 22:05

      I searched, nothing available around this price.

      • [Deactivated] on 04/03/2021 - 22:53

        Keep looking. It’ll pop up. Market is bonkers if this is a good price.
        This card is weak sauce… I owned one, neat because it runs off bus power, but so does the 1050 and it’s twice as fast

        • Mechz on 05/03/2021 - 10:29

          This is fine for my use. No gaming, just an old Xeon W3550(or something) with a stack of RAM and drives.

          HDMI to new 55CX OLED for video and DP with adapter to HDMI to my older Amp for audio until I get one with ARC and 4k passthrough.

          This was the best option for my scenario.

          • [Deactivated] on 05/03/2021 - 10:35

            @Mechz: Sounds ok… the NVIDIA cards do have NVENC and cuda if that’s your bag.
            1030 doesn’t have cuda but has NVENC I believe

  • turkz1 on 04/03/2021 - 22:31

    Biostar RX560 was $139 on Amazon a week ago so not sure how this is a deal.
