I must say this is a pointless card. I don't see why anyone would like to buy this as onboard is so good these days and you not going to game with this anyway

There still is quite a market for these cards. I have a few good dual core systems that dont have onboard, or the onboard sucks. Perfect HTPC i have built. Hell I use a HD 5450 to power my second monitor instead of running both off my 7850.

I can see the point for the PCIe 1x but the other nope, as this days any Intel Core or AMD APU is simply better.

For a budget card, these aren't too shabby. I feel like they'd be great for office multi-monitor or multi-seat purposes, but I agree that it should be a 1x slot. Since AMD at this point is the only manufacturer that makes both IGPs and discrete GPUs for x86, I think they really need to shift their numbering system. While I'm happy about the amount of processing power their APU IGPs offer, they should really be categorized as the R5 series. They may have the theoretical processing power to be an R7, but as long as memory is the bottleneck, realistically they're only R5s. Besides, I think in a marketing perspective, it makes people more inclined to buy a discrete R7 when they know it isn't comparable to the tainted concept of graphics that is IGP.

What? Is? This? 160shaders vliw5 card in 2014? Looks like AMD opened some old warehouse and found huge supply of 2011 cookies.

I was looking for something like this. My SBS server motherboard has only PCIEx1 slots and built in gf without any acceleration. Pulpit is working very crappy.
