I bought this with the intention of replacing a video card from 2007 that had two DVI Outs. It's running on an older Core Quad Duo machine that is essentially a DAW used for music production. It outputs DVI, VGA and HDMI. Note that the VGA will not convert to DVI. I tried a simple adapter and my monitor would not detect the signal, so I had to use a standard VGA. No issue there. What I noticed with Saved videos, especially Mp4's, load time was a bit longer even though there is 1gb DDR ram onboard. Just a slower processor perhaps. Windows Media Player seems to take a bit longer caching files, however other apps not as long. As far as reliability goes, so far so good. No BSD issues as my other video card had done as it began to fail over time.

I used this GPU for a dell dimension e520. It runs well on with this old gPU. I wouldn't use this graphics card to run modern games, but games from the early 2000's will run excellent with this graphics card.

Solid build and quality. No compatibility issues whatsoever. Driver installed with no problem. Graphics performance very good!

I got this for a HP wx4400 workstation I use for archives ...however it had a memory problem and was not the video card. .I plan on installing it on another gPU soon ...looks well built and i like the features ...I did install it on a Linux gPU ...had to figure twin monitor uses but works great and has excellent picture quality (sidenote the vx gPU has mount making the Radeon cooling fins on the bottom --- it was final mounted on a gPU with mount reversed thus allowing cooling fins to be on-top)

I was searching for an inexpensive graphic card for a low end dual monitor setup. This looked to fill the bill until I tried to download a driver and discovered the 5450 chipset had been grandfathered by AMD in 2015. All driver updates also stopped in 2015. So if you want a graphics card that has been discontinued for nine years buy this, otherwise there are better, supported options.
