SAPPHIRE's acclaimed Dual-X Cooling is powered by two massive yet silent fans and state-of-the-art radiator design. The new form of hybrid fan blades means greater airflow and superior heatsink coverage at lower noise compared to standard cooling designs. Fan speed is intelligently controlled to keep the GPU, memory, PWM IC and other components as low as possible in temperature to balance performance, and fan noise.
Standard industry fans may have up to 10% difference between fan rotation cycles (RPM). The Fan IC Control on SAPPHIRE graphics cards reduce differential at approximately 3%. This up to 70% improvement on accuracy ensures that cooling and noise performance of every graphics card is up to scratch.
The all-aluminum back plate provides additional rigidity that guarantees nothing bends and dust stays out. It also helps cool your card by increasing heat dissipation. In order to protect your card, the SAPPHIRE cards have fuse protection built into the circuit of the external PCI-E power connector to keep the components safe.

Love this little graphics card it gets bad reviews but if this is all you can afford I'd say go for it,
Great little card for the price, well for current prices, considering it costs less and performs better than a used 1650 on ebay it's a steal in todays market, NOTE* If you have PCI-E 3.0 this will perform slightly better than a 1650 around 5-10 percent, if you have PCI-E 4.0, this will perform around a 1650 Super. So either way you're getting a better card than a 1650 and most definitely a 1050Ti, so if you need a new GPU and they are your only choices, then this is most definitely the more sensible choice.
The hate directed at this card is not warranted. It's a laptop GPU in desktop form, 2W and 29C at idle attest to that. I'm using it in an ITX build with a Ryzen 3600 and B550 motherboard with Smart Access Memory enabled. Thermals are well under control.The cut down nature of this card is not ideal. However, I'm more than happy to have got this for only 199.
