AMD Radeon HD 8490 1GB GDDR3
Equipped with 1GB of GDDR3 memory and a DisplayPort output, this card provides basic multi-monitor support for legacy systems via its PCI Express 2.0 x16 interface. Its primary differentiator is as a simple, low-cost replacement part for OEM machines, backed by fast shipping and strong customer service ratings. This product is best for IT administrators needing to restore video output on aging office desktops, not for any modern gaming or compute workloads.
