I don't see the point. We already have a ton of low end cards that can match that. I'm guessing this would be ok in a low end HTPC. Eh, I may be missing something but it seems pointless.
I'd rather just use an Intel or AMD IGP. Either one would save you a lot of money while having perfectly adequate performance.

sometimes all you need is a working framebuffer, this is its job, certainly better than those low profile geforce 6200s and radeon 9200ses they were selling for like 10+ years
This is a bit expensive for a framebuffer. It'd take 10+ years before this becomes a better replacement.

Seems like an oversupply of DDR4 memory to me. Why don't these @ssholes use something else and let the Motherboard dimms drop in price?!?!? FTck them.
If that were the case, desktop DDR4 DIMMs should be much cheaper than they are. DDR4 is thankfully getting increasingly cheaper, but it's still outrageously expensive.

To you and to those who agree with you at the same price you could buy a complete Ryzen 3 2200G. If someone doesn't have proper power user or workload brain, Huang's wallet is getting gigantic. I've already thinking about it. It is pointless. Build the same quality with Intel and Nvidia combo. Double the price. Do the mathematics. i3 8100 + Gt1030 vs ryzen 3 2200G. Every one working on a company needed budget system could understand me unless he/she is paid from Intel/Nvidia.
This is for companies or people that just want to go to multimonitor or 4K in an office capacity. $80 and your sandy-bridge based Dell OptiPlex Cam now used two 4K monitors. That is a lot cheaper than entire new systems.

Workstations guys, workstations that need dual monitor.
