AMD Radeon R5 240 1GB DDR3
Equipped with a 1GB GDDR3 memory and a 2000MHz boost clock, this card provides basic multi-monitor support via DVI and DisplayPort on legacy systems. Its low 50W TDP and single-slot, fan-cooled design allow it to fit into compact, power-constrained office PCs without needing a PSU upgrade. This is best for IT administrators adding display outputs to aging business desktops, not for any modern gaming or compute workloads.
