There is also a higher quality version for the same price after rebate (but with a bigger rebate).

I guess newegg has too much of these in stock. Good deal a for light gaming video card if you have a newer computer and don't mind the rebate.

Even though my computer is older with PCI 3.0, I picked one because it was so cheap. It should run most current games at medium settings on 1080p.

According to https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-s...0-xt.c3850 it's on par with the 5500 XT and GeForce GTX 1650. For $100, what else can you buy brand new with a warranty that performs better?
Also, in case anyone is considering this for a cheap upgrade on an old system: apparently if you don't use a pcie 4.0 slot, this thing gets hampered considerably.

Seems to be a decent cheap low-end card for a newer build only. If your mobo only does pcie 3.0, look elsewhere...
Ah, the price this trash card should have ORIGINALLY launched at 🙄

Unlike budget offerings of the past, you really will regret not putting this on a modern 4.0 slot. Since it only has 4 physical lanes and all… also note the lack of encoder and reduced display output capability, this truly was a laptop GPU stuck onto a desktop board.

While the price seems ok the card is just bad. I think it doesn't even perform as well as a 5500 XT.

Would this be adequate for plex to resample 4k videos for streaming?

Good price, I was already planning on buying the Callisto protocol so, $40 OTD for a entry level GPU is a no brainer.

I passed on the 6500XT specifically because the video decoding HW is gimped compared to the 6600. The encoding is also gimped - no HW H264 encoding.

Just need a basic card for display purposes and light gaming. Is there going to be anything cheaper than this?

This is not made clear at all on the Newegg product page, but The Callisto Protocol is not included, just Dead Island 2:

Rebate is for "all authorized Asus dealers" so... Amazon too?

Because Newegg still has a terrible return policy on these.

The cheapest Intel CPU with an iGPU will beat any consumer GPU on the market in transcodes. my Celeron G4900 can do >4 4K transcodes, and 20+ 1080p transcodes. You can buy an HP 290-p0043w for ~$120 on eBay to do all your Plex host and transcodes.
