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.

Would this be adequate for plex to resample 4k videos for streaming?
No H264 encoding so this is very bad for plex

it only supports two monitors...per its spec...

That's for pointing this out, almost got it to upgrade my GTX 1050 which I use to play Tarkov mostly. When not playing, I use 3 screens for productivity.

It's a slow day on slickdeals. I hope these retailers get more motivated.

The price is right… I wouldn't buy it, but better than discreet graphics.

If this is on par with a GTX 1650, don't get it because this requires a 6 pin power source. The 1650 doesn't and can be plugged into any old computer.

I've built like 10 low/mid end gaming rigs on Dell optimum computers since covid with GTX 1050, 1050ti, 1650, and 1060 (required replacing the Dell PSU with aftermarket).

If your psu already has a plug for video card, well, then have at it. However, is at least get a 1060/1660 for gamers at a minimum

Those power adapters usually come with a card and can be purchased for about $3. The real reason not to get this card if you have an older PC (Like an optiplex or lenovo) is it only runs at 4x PCIe speed. That means if you have an older PCIe3.0 board performance will suffer greatly.

In theory there is a possiblity to daisy chain more than 2 DP monitors, but that requires monitors to support daisy chaining. Why go to such complexity? just but the video card that supports 4 or 5 monitors out of the box.

I am actually in the same situation too: I have 3 monitors for productivity, looking to extend to 5.... waiting for cheap graphics card to show up on SD that supports that...

Make sure you have PCIE 4.0 not 3.0 if you plan to use it for gaming. Most video cards run at 16x and this card runs at 4x so it needs the extra bandwifth of 4.0.
Thanks! I have only PCIE 3.0 and very new to GPU, is there any recommended ~$100 GPU which can help improve minecraft game thanks.

You should look on FB Marketplace/Ebay for 1660 supers. If you can spend a big more you can get 5700/5700xts for under $150 if you are patient.

Quote from essix8 :
Except the 6500xt is worse. No encoders means its useless for streaming and content creation or re-encoding, only 2 video outputs, requires PCIe 4.0 or there is a big performance loss.

This was AMD's greedy attempt at putting a laptop GPU into a desktop, now its on discount because crypto is dead and AMD cant milk consumers anymore.
For gaming, which is the main point of this GPU, it's on par. Who's honestly streaming with a GPU in this performance range? If you're a streamer, you would be investing in something significantly better anyways. Also, same question for content creation.. why would you invest in the bottom of the barrel for that use case? It's like you're looking for reasons to crap on a $100 GPU in a world where the rtx 3050, which scores barely better than a 1660ti, still goes for $280+.

https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-s...8-gb.c3858

But, of course, Nvidia isn't greedy at all and they don't milk customers whatsoever..

Radeon RX 580 8gb can be bought new at some retailers for around $130-150 and it's a fantastic card that was made for PCIe 3.0. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/sku/...Id=6136515

Do you really want to risk your money buying a used, 3-4 year old GPU that was possibly mined to death just to save a few bucks?
