Are you looking for a video card with an unbeatable price, able to give new life to your old computer? You won’t find another so cheap.
The Sapphire Radeon R5 230 is perfect for those who want to buy a low-end video card and have no claims whatsoever. Particularly suitable for preassembled devices without a graphics card, this model is designed to ensure proper use of your PC.
Its 1 GB DDR3 RAM is enough to guarantee use in lighter tasks like playing videos and movies, lighter editing programs, and playing titles a few years ago.
Its compatibility is however excellent, thanks to the presence of a VGA output, a DVI and an HDMI. You can therefore use it in the best way with any monitor you own. The 16-pin PCI-E connector ensures efficient communication between the CPU and GPU. Furthermore, it requires no additional power, and consumes little.
This video card is very small and therefore does not have a dissipation system, however it will not require an excessive cooling system. Furthermore, the absence of a fan makes it totally silent, perfect for office-type uses, and others like it. We really recommend it to those who want to improve their old PC’s performance with little.
