I needed a replacement video card for an older Athlon 64 X2 machine from over ten years ago that still does internet browsing duties. I don't plan on gaming with it, so an used GPU from 2009 makes sense. The card should be in a well ventilated case since its passively cooled, but it does provide completely silent operation. If you do have some vintage gaming you'd like to do its absolutely up to the task as well.
