Solid performance at a reasonable price

The card is most suited to playing old PC games, but if you do not need to see the full details of the game it can cope with newer titles as well. A huge surprise seems to be the presence of a completely new programming interface Mantle. It is able to squeeze the maximum performance from the hardware, compared to DirectX which allows up to nine times call rendering functions. With the cooler it boasts a very quiet operation, then of course there is also the low power consumption. The card is fitted with an analogue D-Sub and DVI and modern HDMI.
