Impressive performance, Impressive price
Sapphire quality and engineering is something you notice as soon as you lay eyes and fingers on this product. It's made by one of the most respected GPU manufacturers that exist today. The box includes a driver CD, a Sticker, some warranty cards, some low profile brackets, and the GPU itself.
The GPU is a silent design and doesn't require any external power other than the roughly 300 watts that can be drawn from modern motherboards.
The Low profile brackets and design are nicely implemented and have a quality feel to them with no sharp edges.
The driver CD is a little odd as the drivers supplied on it do not work with windows 10 and can cause issues with windows 8.1, I strongly suggest downloading the newest drivers from the AMD website.
This particular product has the DVI-D interface which doesn't support conversion to VGA. So If you plan on running two VGA monitors, look somewhere else for something that uses DVI-I.
Performance on this Product is great for the price. It'll happily do some 1080p gaming and handles video and web browsing like it's nobody's business.
STRENGTHS:
High quality manufacturing
Great power consumption and thermal performance
Silent
Low profile
WEAKNESSES:
DVI-D means you can't use two VGA monitors :(
Sticker included is impossibly sticky - seriously it's like some kind of epoxy.
BEST USES:
Media
Presentation
Web Browsing
Gaming
