I purchased this Card for my Dell Optiplex 755 Mini Tower for the sole purpose of improving my daughter's Minecraft user experience. The 755's Intel Integrated GMA 3100 GPU is pretty pocky, with Windows 7 32bit version, and 4GBs of RAM. The card was very affordable. I put the card in and never took the install disk out of it's envelope. I just downloaded the latest version of Catalyst and the latest Radeon HD 5450 application drivers. I did not tell my daughter that I changed the Optiplex 755 Mini-tower. When she loaded Mine Craft, she was delighted and asked what I did to the computer. It seems like when the GPU is dedicated and using it's own video memory, instead of the motherboard's shared RAM, the system is more stable. I have some Blu-ray movies that were part of some three disk movie bundles, that I have purchased in the past but, all of the TVs in our home are standard definition CRT sets. I purchased an LG CD-R DVD-R Blu-ray ROM Combo-drive and installed it onto my Dell Optiplex 755 Mini-tower, equipped with my new Sapphire AMD Radeon HD 5450 1GB card. The Blu-ray experience is amazing. There is animation/motion fluidity that I have never experienced watching DVDs. I'm assuming the Sapphire AMD Radeon HD 5450 card helps to make that happen. I tried playing Blu-ray disks with just the 5450 card and the AMD software and drivers and the blu-ray disks would not play. Once I installed the LG Blu-ray playback software, that came with the LG drive, the blu-ray disks started playing automatically. The LG Blu-ray combo drive and the Sapphire AMD Radeon HD 5450 1GB card make great media/entertainment companions.Read full review

I've been using this for a while now and have no complaints. I wouldn't call the graphics "Stunning" however I would call them excellent. I'm running an AMD A6 quad core with 8 gigs of ram on Windows 10. It works really well and the drivers are readily available.

Like with such old cards, there is always a chance it will start giving the BSoD. But this one didn't (it's been a few weeks). Thank you seller.
